Class Actions

Thomson Rogers LLP’s class action team specializes in the areas of personal injury, product liability and institutional abuse. Class actions avoid the necessity for hundreds, or thousands of people to file similar individual lawsuits. This means that a single person can commence a class action on behalf of hundreds or thousands of people. They seek to ensure that people with similar claims are treated similarly. Class action lawsuits increase access to justice and streamline the judicial process.

Thomson Rogers LLP was instrumental in many landmark cases over the years, for example, leading early mass tort efforts, such as the 1980s Mississauga train derailment, before class actions were formally codified in Canada. The firm also served as one of the lead counsel in the residential schools class action, a watershed moment in Canadian legal and political history.
