Employment & Labour | Canada

Atlantic Canada

Employment covers both contentious and non-contentious employment matters relating to day-to-day business issues as well as mergers and takeovers. Includes employment litigation related to sex, race, and age discrimination. Lawyers also advise on the writing of policy handbooks for major corporates and HR training. Chambers Canada separately ranks lawyers and law firms who act exclusively for unions and employees. In Chambers Canada, labour law firms represent corporates in their dealings with union issues, collective bargaining agreements and strike avoidance. This section also covers occupational health and safety act legislation and proceedings before labour and industrial relations boards.
