Strosberg Wingfield Sasso LLP

About Strosberg Wingfield Sasso LLP

Strosberg Wingfield Sasso LLP is a litigation firm based in Windsor, Ontario, with a second office in Toronto. The firm's roots go back to Sutts Strosberg, a Windsor practice founded by lawyers Clifford Sutts and Harvey Strosberg. In the late 1990s the firm's criminal law group split off under Patrick Ducharme to form its own practice, and the remaining firm later operated as Strosberg Sasso Sutts LLP before adopting its current name in a later rebrand. Harvey Strosberg, called to the Ontario bar in 1971, has practised class actions since Ontario first allowed them in 1993, was designated Queen's Counsel in 1982 (a title now referred to as King's Counsel), and served as the 55th Treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada from 1997 to 1999.

The firm concentrates on class actions and complex civil litigation, with depth in competition, securities, and corporate misconduct claims, and it also advises on corporate transactions, insolvency, and employment and estate matters. By 2016, its lawyers had recovered more than two billion dollars for clients over two decades, and Strosberg has served as lead counsel in the firm's $1.1 billion Hepatitis C settlement and as lead negotiator in the Walkerton E. coli class action settlement. Jay Strosberg, part of the family that founded the firm, is now co-managing partner, alongside Windsor-based William Sasso and Toronto-based David Wingfield.
