Class Action White Paper: Risk Management, Crisis Response, and Defence

Oct 5, 2015

Learn How to Manage Risk Today to Prevent Tomorrow’s Class Action

The stakes are high in today’s class action environment. Class proceedings are now a permanent fixture of the Canadian litigation landscape, and are, unfortunately, just one of the many risks to which companies are exposed, simply by virtue of carrying on business.

For a company, being named as a defendant in a class action can have devastating repercussions: interruptions to operations, a damaged reputation and weakened relationships with clients, customers and stakeholders – not to mention potential high associated costs that can extend beyond a possible damages award and legal fees.

Preparation, a proactive response and a strong defence strategy are crucial in preventing and mitigating a class action’s impact. Our white paper, Managing Risk Today to Prevent Tomorrow’s Class Action, outlines essential steps for navigating the modern class action environment. Key topics include:

  • reducing the risk of a class action – or avoiding it entirely;
  • responding quickly and proactively to the threat or commencement of a class action; and
  • designing a focused and clear strategy for the defence of the action.
