Our litigators have been involved in many of the leading pension cases before the courts and tribunals across the country. Our representation of sponsors of multi-jurisdictional plans has led to appearances in major pension litigation in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Alberta and British Columbia and frequent interaction with regulators in all of the other provinces.
