Trusted and experienced labour & employment lawyers resolving complex legal challenges for small to midsized businesses, trade unions, and employees in Whitby

A mesh of urbanity and a thriving rural community is what propels the Town of Whitby forward. Home to the Regional Municipality of Durham headquarters, Whitby features a bustling economic hub catering largely to the automotive, advanced manufacturing, pharmaceutical, education, publishing, and retail industries.

With more than 70,000 people comprising its skilled labour force, and an estimated 3,575 businesses, Whitby boasts one of Canada’s most diversified and stable economies. Despite the continuing success of its flourishing business community, disputes between employees, employers, and staff, and business partners can and do arise.
