Ron Podolny
Partner, Rochon Genova LLP
Ron has demonstrated a willingness to go the extra mile in class action litigation.
In the recently concluded SNC-Lavalin proceeding, which resulted in a record-setting settlement for the class, Ron conducted a number of discoveries, argued complex motions and drafted materials at all stages of the litigation. Ron is also part of the Lac Megantic derailment team at Rochon Genova. In that ongoing proceeding, Ron has demonstrated both a mastery of the technical subject matter and an understanding of the often complex landscape of that litigation.
He has a strong commitment to legal education. He currently serves as an instructor in three courses at University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall Law Schools. His teaching covers class actions, securities litigation and other topics of vital and practical importance to future lawyers. Since its inauguration, Ron has acted as pro bono counsel and supervising lawyer at the Osgoode Investor Protection Clinic, a unique project assisting retail investors and victims of fraud.
