Ryan Morris
Ryan has developed a strong presence in the securities litigation space, with significant experience defending securities class actions (often with parallel actions in the US), securities transactional disputes and securities regulatory proceedings. He has successfully litigated some of the most significant recent securities transactional disputes in Canada, including contested transactions, takeover bids, proxy contests, and statutory plan of arrangement proceedings. These mandates often involve oppression and derivative claims, dissent and fair value proceedings, directors’ and officers’ liability advice and governance issues. Ryan is regularly sought out as defence counsel on securities class actions, particularly those related to financial products, including exchange traded funds, mutual funds and syndicated mortgage products, and has one of the largest practices in the country in this developing area. He has represented clients in enforcement proceedings before the securities commissions in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec and settled a CIRO proceeding relating to the largest block trade in Canadian history. · Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP
