Class actions are a rapidly evolving risk for Canadian businesses. COVID-19, employment, privacy, consumer protection: these are just a few areas where activity has increased, and it is happening across multiple industries and jurisdictions. As class actions develop in scope and complexity, so do strategies for predicting and managing what seems like a moving target.

Joining us are the co-chairs of our Canadian class actions team, Toronto partner Randy Sutton, and Montréal partner François-David Paré.
