Plaintiff Class Action Lawyer

Cartel Inc.

Class Actions Lawyer (Plaintiff-Side)

Location: Downtown Toronto

Position Type: Full-Time

Our client, a globally recognized international law firm, is seeking a seasoned class actions lawyer to join their Toronto office. This is a rare opportunity to step into high-profile, high-stakes litigation on a global scale, advocating for shareholders in complex actions against multinational corporations.

About the Role:

The ideal candidate will bring a minimum of 2-10 years’ experience litigating matters under Canada’s Class Proceedings Act, with a strong background in plaintiff-side work. While direct experience in securities or shareholder class actions is not required, a solid foundation in class action litigation is essential.

This position offers a dynamic platform to build or expand a sophisticated practice, with strong mentorship, international exposure, and the support of a premier litigation team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and manage complex class action files from intake through to resolution or trial
  • Develop case strategy and manage pleadings, motion records, certification materials, and settlement documentation
  • Represent clients in court, including certification motions, appeals, and trial
  • Provide strategic legal advice to clients on litigation risks and opportunities
  • Collaborate with international teams on cross-border matters
  • Maintain strong relationships with class members, experts, co-counsel, and stakeholders
  • Keep abreast of developments in class action law and related jurisprudence

Required Qualifications:

  • J.D. or LL.B. and membership in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario
  • Minimum 2-10 years' litigation experience under the Class Proceedings Act (Canada)
  • Demonstrated success in plaintiff-side class actions or mass tort litigation
  • Excellent advocacy, negotiation, and case management skills
  • Strong writing, research, and analytical abilities
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with an interest in growing a class actions practice

Why Apply?

This is an exceptional career move for a senior litigator seeking meaningful, precedent-setting work with a global reach. You’ll join a firm known for its commitment to excellence, innovation, and social justice.
