Human rights law involves assisting clients with issues under the Ontario Human Rights Code or the Canada Human Rights Act, whichever is applicable. Additionally, the Canadian Charter of Human Rights and Freedom may become relevant in cases involving the application of legislation or the conduct of government and its agencies.

Human rights issues can arise in the workplace or in other relationships between individuals such as housing, services, and access to facilities. Claims are generally based on an allegation that an individual has been discriminated against and/or harassed on the basis of a number of grounds set out in the applicable human rights legislation (examples include race, sex, sexual orientation, age, etc.).

Michael [Connell] was such an incredible help to us as we navigated a new situation in selling our income property. He spelled everything out for us so clearly and concisely and helped us understand complex legal documents and terms with ease. I would highly recommend him for his professional knowledge and expertise while having a personal touch that made us feel comfortable and took all the stress out of the process for us. Thank you Michael and Simone! - P.J.

I had a great experience with John Morrissey and his team at Siskinds. I was in a same sex common law relationship and required his help with a dependent support claim. John made my first time experience dealing with a lawyer an easy one. He was very knowledgeable and he and his law clerk Adam were always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have. I would highly recommend John and his entire team at Siskinds. - R.S.

Thank you very much for everything! I was lucky enough to have Andrea [Cooley] as my lawyer and witnessed her as the most able lawyer. Thank you very much for representing me and protecting my side! Thank you, Andrea, and your team, for your support!- R.K.
