Class actions are a new reality on the Canadian legal landscape,
presenting unique challenges to businesses, governments and other
organizations operating in an increasingly litigious environment.
The successful defence of class proceedings demands the strategic
and technical expertise of counsel experienced in this complex
and evolving area of the law.
MLT has been one of western Canada’s pioneers in the developing
and complex field of class actions. MLT's experience in class
actions is built upon our proven knowledge and ability to successfully
manage complex, multi-party litigation.
MLT has been involved as counsel in almost every significant
class proceeding commenced under Saskatchewan’s Class Actions
Act, including products liability cases, other mass torts, securities
and other investors' claims, pensions, biotechnology and commercial
claims. MLT lawyers also regularly participate in, and have lead
and coordinated the defence of, multi-jurisdictional class proceedings.
MLT lawyers are leading educators on the subject of class actions,
regularly writing and presenting at various conferences in Saskatchewan,
Alberta and Ontario.
MLT’s litigators can not only assist in
responding to class proceedings once commenced. Our Class Action
Group also
regularly provides advice to clients respecting class actions
in relation to matters that have not matured into issued claims. |
