What Foreman & Company does

Foreman & Company is a boutique plaintiff-side class action law firm founded by Jonathan Foreman on March 2, 2020, and headquartered at 4 Covent Market Place in London, Ontario. The firm represents individuals, consumers, investors, and businesses who have suffered loss or injury due to misconduct on a widespread scale, with mandates spanning consumer protection law, price-fixing and competition law, financial services and securities law, and product liability law. Practicing on a national basis through co-counsel relationships with firms across Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and globally, the firm prosecutes cases in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Quebec courts, and on appeal, with cumulative client recoveries exceeding $265 million across matters such as the $80 million DRAM computer memory price-fixing settlement, a $56 million trial judgment against London Life and Great-West Life, and a $45 million copyright settlement against major record labels.

The firm's core product is its investigative and litigation capacity, supported by a small bench of 8 professionals including founder Jonathan Foreman, Partner Sarah Bowden, Counsel Jean-Marc Metrailler, associate and junior lawyers, senior law clerks, and administrative staff. The firm operates without proprietary technology platforms; its deliverables are produced through manual legal research, case investigation, drafting, courtroom advocacy, negotiation, and designed claims-administration processes. There is no SaaS, marketplace, or platform layer; the business is a purely professional-services model with four practice modules (consumer protection, price-fixing/competition, securities, product liability) delivered as a unified class action practice.

Foreman & Company generates revenue through contingency-fee arrangements, where fees are typically calculated as a percentage of court-approved settlements or judgments recovered for class members, with revenue recognition tied to settlement events and court approval. The firm's go-to-market motion is sales-led and reputation-driven: clients are acquired through referrals, co-counsel relationships, professional networks, media coverage (CBC, CTV W5, Globe and Mail, National Post, Toronto Star), and direct inquiries via the firm's website where potential class members register for active cases. The firm has no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no public listing, operating as a privately held professional corporation under Ontario law.
