Langlois Kronström Desjardins among the top 15 class action firms in Canada

The Financial Post devoted the entire Legal Post section of its December 7 issue to the subject of class actions in Canada. For this occasion, the newspaper conducted a survey of 64 law firms across the country. The survey's questions concerned the number of lawyers within the firm working on class actions, the number of active class action files, and the number of files resolved over the last few years. With 31 active files, Langlois Kronström Desjardins came 13th and thus made the paper's list of Canada's Top 15 Busiest Defence-Side Class Action Firms. Moreover, Langlois Kronström Desjardins is the only exclusively Quebec firm among the top 15.
