Benefitting from offices across the major cities in Canada, McCarthy Tétrault handles the full range of labour and employment matters such as litigation, labour relations and occupation health and safety. In Toronto, practice head Tim Lawson focuses on collective bargaining and litigation, whilst Kate McNeill-Keller advises on statutory compliance and labour relations. At the Montreal office, André Baril stands out for his work on wrongful dismissals and workplace discrimination. The team was strengthened by the arrival of John Gilmore and Stephanie Henry to the Calgary office from Bennett Jones LLP. Gilmore represents clients on commercial transactions and restrictive covenants, and Henry advises on executive compensation and incentive entitlements. Shana Wolch left the firm in December 2024.
