Our National Employment and Labour team represents employers in both private and public sectors across Canada. The team is based in six key Canadian markets including Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal and Québec City.
The team regularly advises on both provincial matters as well as leading cases at the federal level. We also act for major players in the federal sphere, large energy companies, universities, infrastructure organizations and pharma companies.
Chambers Review
Norton Rose Fulbright demonstrates exceptional breadth and depth of coverage in the key Canadian markets, with standout employment and labour departments in both Québec and Ontario as well as an accomplished team in British Columbia. The firm offers extensive experience of labour, employment and human rights litigation and arbitration, appearing before labour relations boards and courts. It also advises on union certification and business mobility issues. The Norton Rose team is equally well experienced in employment and labour matters arising from M&A transactions. Its workload comprises matters of provincial, national and international scope occurring in sectors such as retail, manufacturing, financial services and transportation.
