Charles Wagner

Charles Wagner is a leading lawyer with extensive experience in labour and employment litigation. His extensive knowledge of legal proceedings makes him particularly effective in representing employers before civil and administrative tribunals, particularly in actions for dismissal without cause or regarding a prohibited practice.

He is regularly involved in matters involving injunctions and safeguard orders, which are often complex, multi-jurisdictional or involve media coverage. He uses a strategic approach when the dispute involves restrictive covenants (e.g., non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality) or labour disputes in a unionized workplace (e.g., illegal picketing). In addition, Charles has extensive experience in Anton Piller orders and their enforcement. Charles distinguishes himself as a client’s true partner and strategic advisor by focusing on developing a practical approach to real legal issues, taking into account individual business realities and needs.

In addition to his legal practice, Charles is actively involved in the community. In keeping with his social involvement and dedication to youth causes, he sits on the board of directors of Tel-Jeunes. In addition, as a member of the Québec Bar’s experts’ group on labour standards, equity, and occupational health & safety (Groupe d'experts sur les normes, l'équité, la santé et la sécurité du travail), he helps shape the future of legal policies in his field of expertise.
