Employment and Labour Law

Human resources, personnel management and related topics are a daily preoccupation for all enterprises, and a decision touching employment matters can have an important legal impact. We work closely with our clients to advise and implement strategies both to avoid conflict and to resolve it expeditiously. To deliver on this promise we bring to bear our expertise in many areas, from the structuring of transactions to the elaboration of clients' human resource policies.

Collective bargaining certification, proceedings in the event of a strike (injunctions and antistrike breaker legislation).

Collective bargaining, opinions on: Labour Code, Labour Standards Act, Occupational Health and Safety, Workers Compensation legislation and Charter of Human Rights and their Federal equivalents.

Representations on grievance arbitration and recourses under the Labour Standards Act and the Workers Compensation and Occupational Health and Safety Legislation.

Advice and representation in regards to pension plan legislation and regulations.

Of course, going to court is sometimes unavoidable. In such cases our clients can count on us to represent and act on their behalf before all tribunals, whether civil or administrative.
