Dates: March 2025
Location: Venue, TBA
The Forum will be an annual meeting for up to 48 distinguished litigators from across Canada, each of whom has been selected based on their experience and specialization in resolving class action disputes. The group will include a balance of representatives from both the defendant and plaintiff sides. All participants will be invited by a member of the Steering Committee and will have over 20 years of experience.
Using candid, seminar-style discussion, the group identifies pressing issues, learns how others address these problems and identifies solutions. This in turn deepens relationships amongst peers and fosters a more collegial bar.
Built on meaningful interactions and genuine connections, the Forum is the premiere gathering for preeminent leaders in class actions across Canada.
"Invaluable. A rarity to bring together such a high calibre of counsel and really get into how to make the practice better."

Jon Foreman Founder & Partner Foreman & Company London, ON"This was a well-engaged and fun event that gave me helpful information about a variety of class action cases and was enjoyable to meet class action colleagues across Canada that I had previously known by name only."
