Class Actions are exploding. Are you prepared for the next wave?

With constantly-evolving case law, legislation, and procedures come new challenges—and opportunities. Get the knowledge you need to navigate a complex class actions practice.

For two decades, OsgoodePD has been the premier forum for class actions debate in Canada. For our 20th anniversary, we are bringing together leading judges and practitioners in both government and private practice to guide you through the most critical issues in class actions.

Hear from both plaintiff and defence counsel on the latest class actions developments across Canada, thorny procedural challenges, managing carriage of multiple actions, developing trends in class actions, and much more.

Join us in-person in downtown Toronto, watch live online, or register for the online replay.

Registration includes 120-day unlimited, online access to the recorded program.
