Document:
Jeremy Martin is a lawyer in the Litigation Group. His practice focuses on class actions, with particular experience in product liability, fraud recovery and commercial disputes, as well as some specialized experience in electoral law. He has appeared as lead counsel before all levels of court in Ontario.
Jeremy sits on the Ontario Bar Association’s Class Actions Section executive and is a six-time co-author of Ontario’s leading publication on developments in civil procedure.
Jeremy’s advice is often sought on novel or complex issues, or where a dispute requires an ‘outside the box’ solution. He is frequently consulted when it is not clear what legal options are available to a client, or where the client would prefer litigation to be considered as a last resort. A significant part of his practice consists of managing developing situations and applying his creativity and expertise in civil procedure to ensure they either resolve early or come into court on the best possible terms.
