Standing up for your rights.
Kugler Wechsler handles class actions on behalf of many people who are victims of similar wrongdoing.
We consistently take on opponents with far greater resources than any individual who has suffered harm. We take on the risk for you. Class actions help thousands of individuals resolve their claims efficiently, while holding wrongdoers accountable for the harm they cause.
Taking on a large company or government individually is costly and difficult. At Kugler Wechsler, we help you access justice that you and many others cannot access on their own.
Kugler Wechsler has earned a reputation as one of the leading class action firms in Quebec. For more than 25 years, our firm has successfully recovered significant compensation for tens of thousands of individuals in major provincial and national class actions involving sexual abuse, constitutional rights, consumer protection, defective medical devices, data breaches, financial fraud, securities violations and more.
Of note, we were the first law firm in Quebec to have won a class action on behalf of victims of sexual abuse committed by members of a religious congregation and we also obtained the largest settlement ever awarded in a class action involving sexual abuse in Quebec.
We are also among three Quebec law firms that joined forces and won landmark class actions against the tobacco giants for billions of dollars. We also participated in the largest class action settlement ($23.4 billion) in Canadian history on behalf of First Nations children and their families.
We obtained judgments for thousands of clients in other widely publicized class actions, such as: Earl Jones (financial fraud), Desjardins (data breach) and Atchom-Makoma (illegal detention).
