Siskinds The Law Firm

This summer, Siskinds LLP launched a Wellness Walk & Run Club, bringing colleagues together to move, connect and prioritize their health during the workday! 👟

Our lunchtime walks have become a great opportunity to build relationships, strengthen collegiality, and support one another's wellness goals. 💫

Each member has their own reason for participating. Some are preparing for Jordan's Run the Runway on Friday, September 25, while others are simply looking for an opportunity to get outside, enjoy some fresh air and take a break from the day. Whatever the reason, everyone benefits from connecting with colleagues and sharing in the sense of collegiality that defines our firm. 💜

Pacemakers are implantable medical devices designed to regulate abnormal heart rhythms by delivering electrical impulses to the heart. While these devices play a critical role in modern cardiac care, concerns have been raised about whether certain models may pose serious risks to patient safety.

Siskinds LLP and its Quebec-based affiliate, Siskinds Desmeules, have launched a proposed class action on behalf of Canadians who were implanted with certain pacemakers and experienced injuries or complications associated with the devices.
