Klein Lawyers LLP is a Vancouver based law firm that focuses on plaintiff side class action litigation across Canada, with a Toronto office and an affiliated firm in Quebec, Klein Avocats Plaideurs Inc. The main office is at 1385 West 8th Avenue in Vancouver. Managing partner David Klein has described the firm as built up 'over the past 30 years.' Klein Lawyers has recovered more than $1.4 billion for class members in cases involving defective drugs and medical devices, securities misrepresentation, deceptive marketing, food poisoning outbreaks, and institutional negligence, and the firm also takes personal injury cases.

Klein was called to the Ontario bar in 1980, the British Columbia bar in 1992, and the Washington State bar in 1995. Klein was plaintiffs' counsel in the first class actions certified in British Columbia, Manitoba, and Newfoundland and Labrador; the British Columbia case, Harrington v. Dow Corning Corp., concerned silicone breast implants. More recently, Klein Lawyers has represented claimants in the Indian Hospitals class action and helped negotiate the Indian Boarding Homes settlement, which compensates people who were placed as children in private homes under a federal program that ran from the 1950s into the early 1990s.
