OBA Class Actions PROGRAM | Original Program Date: November 26, 2020

Whether in novel areas related to the pandemic or in more traditional areas such as product liability, securities and public law, the use of the class actions mechanism continues to expand. More frequently, practitioners who have not practiced class actions are being asked by their clients to consider the prosecution or defence of a class action, or are wishing to update their understanding of this specialized area of practice and its own unique set of procedures and strategies. Join our highly experienced class action faculty who will address the fundamentals of class actions practice and procedure through the outline of the life cycle of a class actions case. From the commencement of a claim, through the certification process, to the ultimate resolution of the action, our speakers from both the plaintiff and defence sides of practice will also emphasize the strategies and ethical issues to be considered at each step of the process.

If you are a senior practitioner wishing to expand your practice, a new lawyer starting out who is keen to practice in this active area, or a lawyer wishing to broaden your understanding of this rapidly developing area of the law, you will benefit significantly from this comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of class actions law.
