About Berger Montague (Canada), P.C.
Berger Montague (Canada), P.C. is a professional corporation registered in Ontario and regulated by the Law Society of Ontario. It's the Canadian affiliate of Berger Montague PC, a plaintiffs' litigation firm founded in Philadelphia in 1970 by former Philadelphia city solicitor David Berger. Over more than 50 years, the U.S. firm has recovered more than $36 billion for clients and class members in antitrust and securities matters. The Toronto office opened in April 2023, the parent firm's first location outside the United States.
The Canadian practice concentrates on two areas: antitrust and competition, and securities investor protection. It represents institutional and retail investors, businesses, and shareholders in cross-border class actions connected to companies whose securities trade on Canadian, U.S., and European exchanges, with matters involving Amaya Inc., Concordia International Corp., FSD Pharma Inc., and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. The office has also built a practice representing shareholders in disputes connected to cannabis companies.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The Toronto office is in 330 Bay Street, a 16 story building completed in 1925 in the heart of the city's financial core. The building's architects, Chapman and Oxley, were known for their Beaux Arts style and designed other prominent Toronto structures including the Liberty Grand, the Sunnyside Pavilion, the Palais Royale, and the Princes' Gates; the building was last renovated in 2010. It's around the corner from the Eaton Centre and just minutes from the PATH, Toronto's underground network linking downtown offices, hotels, and shops. For a firm concentrated on antitrust and securities investor protection work, an address on Bay Street puts it inside the corridor most closely tied to Canadian capital markets.
