Personal Injury and Areas of Practice

Administrative Law Attorney

Administrative law is one of three basic areas of public law dealing with the relationship between government and its citizens, the other two being constitutional law and criminal law.

Civil Litigation Lawyer

When two or more parties become embroiled in a legal dispute seeking money or another specific performance rather than criminal sanctions, civil litigation is the result.

Employment Lawyer

Employment law generally deals with individual employment contracts in which the employee is not either a member of a union or bound by a collective bargaining agreement.

Human Rights Lawyer

In Canada, human rights are protected by federal, provincial and territorial laws. Canada’s human rights laws stem from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Labour Lawyer

Labour law generally applies to work environments. In such environments, the employee is subject to collective bargaining and is a member of a union.
