About CFM Lawyers LLP

CFM Lawyers LLP is a Vancouver litigation firm that operates under the full legal name Camp Fiorante Matthews Mogerman LLP. JJ Camp, KC founded the firm in 2001, after 24 years in a defence-side practice at Ladner Downs and a move to plaintiff-side work in 1993. Camp retired from CFM in 2020, after 50 years in law. Joe Fiorante, KC, a founding member called to the bar in British Columbia in 1989, and Reidar Mogerman, KC, called to the bar in 1997, now lead the firm's litigation practice from its single office on Homer Street.

The firm concentrates on class actions, aviation accidents, product liability, and international human rights, and its lawyers have taken cases all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. Fiorante argued Araya v. Nevsun Resources Ltd. (2020 SCC 5), which found a Canadian company could be liable under customary international law for abuses at a mine in Eritrea, and led the 'Right the Wrong' campaign that resulted in a $180 million fund to provide lifetime support for thalidomide survivors. CFM's aviation lawyers have represented families in the Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 shootdown and the Air Canada Flight 624 crash in Halifax, and the firm continues to represent asbestos claimants, working with WorkSafeBC and co-counsel in the United States.
