Securities Class Actions
Securities litigation enables investors to recover losses when companies fail to meet their disclosure obligations. We pursue a wide range of securities class actions involving misrepresentation in both the primary and secondary markets. We represent institutional investors, including asset managers and pension funds, as well as individual shareholders.
Our securities matters commonly involve:
- Negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation;
- Accounting irregularities and disclosure deficiencies;
- Financial restatements; and
- Breaches of fiduciary duty.
Our securities litigation lawyers are recognized leaders in this area. We have advanced some of the most significant securities class actions in Canada, including the $4-billion CIBC subprime litigation (successfully argued before a five-judge panel of the Court of Appeal) and the $500-million Fischer case, the certification of which was upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada.
Our team conducts careful investigations, working with financial market experts to assess issues of liability, causation, and damages. Where there is a viable claim to protect investors harmed by misrepresentation or securities fraud, we are prepared to advance the case through certification and trial.
