We know that employment problems require prompt attention and are best resolved with sensitive and sensible solutions. The lawyers in our Employment Law Group bring their insight and unique expertise to every situation.

Our lawyers are widely recognized in the legal and human resource communities as leaders in employment and workplace law. Although our employment law lawyers are located in Ottawa, they represent clients throughout Ontario and, where appropriate, across Canada.

Our reputation is based on more than a technical mastery of the law. In mediations, negotiations and representation before courts and tribunals, our lawyers draw on their own experience and that of their colleagues to create solutions that are cost-effective and practical.
