Siskinds Labour and Employment Group
Overview
Siskinds provides a full-service labour and employment group with specialized practitioners providing advice and representation on the entire range of issues in both unionized and non-unionized workplaces. We recognize the significant financial cost of labour and employment problems, and our goal is to help you:
- develop strategies to prevent problems;
- manage and resolve them if they do arise; and
- obtain the best result through experienced advocacy before third-party decision-makers (such as courts, tribunals, boards, arbitrators) where no other reasonable solution can be achieved.
