What does a class action lawyer do?
Class action lawyers bring lawsuits on behalf of a large group of people harmed in the same way, in areas such as defective products, data breaches, and institutional wrongs.
Class proceedings run under each province's own legislation, and most are taken on contingency, so members usually don't pay anything unless the case succeeds.
How do you choose the right firm in St. John's?
Ask whether the firm has been appointed class counsel before, how it funds the litigation, and what your role as a class member would involve.
