Napoli Shkolnik Canada

About Napoli Shkolnik Canada

Napoli Shkolnik Canada is a class action and mass tort litigation firm with offices in Calgary and Toronto. It launched in 2022 as the Canadian arm of Napoli Shkolnik PLLC, a mass tort firm based in the United States, and says it draws on that firm's experience with large scale litigation south of the border. The firm collaborates with other Canadian and American law firms when a case crosses the border, and its lawyers report more than 100 years of combined legal experience.

The firm's docket centers on environmental contamination, opioid litigation for First Nations and municipalities, product defect claims, and disputes arising from infrastructure failures and institutional harm. Recent matters include a proposed class action over the June 2024 rupture of Calgary's Bearspaw water main and a proposed class action against the Exshaw cement plant in Alberta. The Toronto office is led by a partner who was called to the Ontario bar in 2023 after articling with the environmental law group Ecojustice. The Calgary office includes a retired King's Counsel with more than 50 years of Alberta litigation experience and a paralegal with more than three decades in the legal field.
