Liability of Canadian corporations abroad

In a three part-webinar series, hear from the team at Torys on how the landscape for environmental, social, and corporate governance obligations has evolved in recent years and what this means for Canadian companies.

Liability of Canadian corporations abroad

As the focus on companies’ ESG practices continues to grow at home and abroad, Canadian courts and legislators are addressing the legal obligations of Canadian companies’ operations outside of Canada in new ways, while international forums are increasingly being used by Canadian claimants to advance domestic litigation. This is particularly true in respect of the “social” aspect of ESG issues. In light of this, Canadian corporations must direct their attention to meeting their legal obligations in connection with their foreign operations and managing their litigation and reputational risk relating to disputes with a social aspect.

Join us for the first webinar in this series where three of our litigators explore strategies for companies to consider when managing evolving litigation risks and meeting the forthcoming requirements of Canadian law.

This session will be presented in English.
