This elite group, comprised of experts in the field, personally nominates all invitees and develops the Agenda, which forms the basis of our discussions.
Forum Overview
Dates: February 21 - 23, 2027
Location: Cambridge, ON
The Forum is an annual meeting for up to 52 distinguished litigators from across Canada, each of whom has been personally identified by the Steering Committee based on the breadth of their experience and specialization in resolving class action disputes. The group includes a balance of representatives for both the defendants and plaintiffs. All participants have 10 - 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.
