Davies partner Nick Rodrigo has been elected as a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers (ACTL), an elite organization of trial lawyers from the United States and Canada who have mastered the art of advocacy and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility and collegiality.

Widely regarded as a leading trial and appellate lawyer, Nick has a well-rounded practice with a focus on class action defence, particularly in relation to securities and competition law. He has successfully represented clients at all levels of court in Canada, and has acted in high-profile cases related to international price-fixing conspiracies and consumer class actions involving some of Canada’s largest retailers. Nick is consistently recognized as a top litigator in leading ranking publications, including Chambers Canada: Canada’s Leading Lawyers for Business; Benchmark Canada: The Definitive Guide to Canada’s Leading Litigation Firms & Attorneys; and The Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory.

Nick joins Guy Du Pont, Morris Fish, Sandra Forbes and Kent Thomson as fellow Davies lawyers who are members of the ACTL.

Fellowship in the ACTL is by invitation only, and is limited to only those trial lawyers who are eminently qualified and who have been actively engaged in trial work for a minimum of 15 years. Membership can never be more than 1% of the total lawyer population of any state or province.
