Michael Eizenga Receives 2024 OBA Award of Excellence in Civil Litigation

November 26, 2024

Bennett Jones congratulates Michael Eizenga on receiving the prestigious 2024 Ontario Bar Association (OBA) Award of Excellence in Civil Litigation. He was honoured at the OBA’s Annual Civil Dinner in Toronto. Michael is senior partner and co-chair of the Class Actions group at Bennett Jones and is renowned as one of Canada's go-to defense counsel for companies facing complex class actions.

Michael has been a class action litigator since the first common law class proceedings legislation came into force in Canada more than 30 years ago. He has acted in some of the country's most important class actions. Michael is distinguished as Canadian Class Action Litigator of the Year in six of the last nine years by Benchmark Canada and is ranked by Chambers and Partners (Band One). He is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and is a recipient of the Law Society Medal, recognizing his undisputed leadership in the Class Action Bar and outstanding commitment to public service.

A leader in the legal community, Michael is an adjunct professor at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law teaching "Class Actions". Among other published works, he is author of The Class Actions Handbook and co-author of Class Actions Law and Practice. He presents to prominent legal associations in Canada and internationally.

Michael advises and represents clients on all issues relating to complex litigation and class proceedings, including consumer class actions, privacy and data breach matters, product liability and competition cases. He has been appointed special master, court counsel and amicus curiae in significant class actions. He is also chair of the board of War Child Canada.

Congratulations, Michael!
