  • Represent clients in court, including certification motions, appeals, and trial
  • Provide strategic legal advice to clients on litigation risks and opportunities
  • Collaborate with international teams on cross-border matters
  • Maintain strong relationships with class members, experts, co-counsel, and stakeholders
  • Keep abreast of developments in class action law and related jurisprudence

 

Required Qualifications:

  • J.D. or LL.B. and membership in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario
  • Minimum 2-10 years' litigation experience under the Class Proceedings Act (Canada)
  • Demonstrated success in plaintiff-side class actions or mass tort litigation
  • Excellent advocacy, negotiation, and case management skills
  • Strong writing, research, and analytical abilities
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with an interest in growing a class actions practice
