Class Actions

Class action lawsuits require special expertise. Whether defending companies against proposed class proceedings and certified claims or advancing claims on behalf of plaintiffs, class actions demand strategic, thoughtful, and tactical counsel. The issues are complex, and the stakes are high.

Ross Nasseri’s lawyers are nationally ranked and trial tested. We have acted for both defendants and plaintiffs on some of the largest and most newsworthy class proceedings in the country. We have represented clients in national and provincial proceedings at all levels of trial and appellate court.

Our lawyers have acted as lead counsel and consulted as co-counsel on matters involving medical devices and product liability, employment claims, consumer claims, financial services and securities claims, environmental matters, economic loss and negligent misrepresentation, mass torts and inventory litigation, competition act/antitrust matters including misleading advertising, government claims (including Charter breaches and breaches of fiduciary duty) and third-party litigation funding approval motions and appeals.

We are adept at navigating complex legal issues in conjunction with the reputational, economic, and regulatory issues that can accompany such large proceedings. Our team is experienced in partnering with third-party funders for plaintiffs, US counsel in cross-border proceedings, and communications firms in situations where the client’s reputation is at risk.
