Church & Company is a leader in class action
litigation with an emphasis on financial suits. David P. Church, Q.C. is recognized by
Legal Lexpert Directory as a leading practitioner in class action litigation and
corporate commercial litigation in British Columbia. Our
lawyers have also been retained in class action
suits to act against regulators as well as
securities and real estate brokers.
We act primarily for plaintiffs and have had
substantial success in
obtaining sizeable settlements. We advise on
potential class actions and skillfully negotiate and
settle or litigate such claims. Church & Company is
committed to communicating regularly and thoroughly
with our class members (See
Frequently Asked
Questions). Typically, we report monthly
to class members on our website and post all
relevant documentation from the action.
What is a Class Action?
A Class Action lawsuit is one, or several, claimants
(individuals who suffered damages) bring an action
on behalf of numerous individuals with the same, or
a similar claim, against the same defendants. Often,
individual lawsuits of this kind are impractical.
They are costly to pursue and the resulting award is
unlikely to cover the legal expense. However, in a
Class Action the total of all the damages suffered
by many may be very large.
