It’s that exciting time of year again: the release of the Norton Rose Fulbright Annual Litigation Trends Survey. Join hosts Ted and Erin as they dive into this year’s findings and what they mean for corporate counsel in 2025. In this episode, they break down some of the most pressing issues uncovered in the survey, including greenwashing risks, evolving cybersecurity regulations, and shifts in class action litigation. Helping to unpack these insights are three guests each bringing their expertise to the discussion.

Ray Chartier, Senior Partner in the Calgary office and Canadian Co-Head of Responsible Business & Sustainability, examines the growing risks of greenwashing and its impact on Canadian and U.S. markets. John Cassell, Partner in the Calgary office and Canadian Co-Head of Cybersecurity & Data Privacy, explores how the survey reflects major legislative changes ahead for cybersecurity law in Canada. Finally, François-David Paré, Partner in the Montreal office and Co-Chair of the National Class Actions Team, highlights the increasing focus on consumer protection class actions, a key concern in this year’s findings.
