With the ever increasing attention on discrimination and human rights issues, it is critical for organizations to be vigilant and proactive in reassessing and reviewing their operations in the context of human rights law. Whether your organization is developing a diversity policy, assessing how to reasonably accommodate an individual’s disability or defending against a human rights complaint, Fasken human rights lawyers can help.
We work with organizations to help them address human rights issues in all areas including employment, private and public services, tenancy and publication. We have extensive experience before tribunals and courts defending organizations facing human rights complaints.
From a proactive perspective, we assist our clients in considering their human rights obligations and developing policies related to human rights such as diversity, anti-harassment, anti-bullying and accommodation of disabilities. In addition, we train managers and supervisors on their human rights obligations and providing guidance on how to avoid and respond to internal complaints. Where necessary, we carry out thorough investigations for organizations into human rights allegations, respecting the rules of procedural fairness.
