We have extensive expertise in the area of product liability, acting both for plaintiffs and defendants, and our firm remains at the forefront of this complex litigation.

We act for plaintiffs who have suffered injuries from defective products in a variety of circumstances. We also act for national and multi-national corporations in the defence of all types of product liability suits, related to products ranging from cars and airplanes to toys and cookware. We advise our clients with respect to product warnings and regulatory issues. We have also provided risk management advice to companies in order to allow them to effectively assess, target and take steps to avoid potential product liability claims.

Our partners, Lawrence Theall and Jeffrey Brown, are authors of a leading Canadian text on product liability, entitled Product Liability: Canadian Law and Practice. It is a regularly updated looseleaf publication available from Canada Law Book.

Among our valued clients, we have the privilege of representing Hyundai Auto Canada Corp., Cessna Aircraft Corporation, Kia Canada Inc., Celanese Corporation and Spin Master Ltd., in their defence of product liability claims.
