In major Canadian centres, most firms that practice employment law as a specialized practice do so for one side or the other — for individual employees, executives, partners, and the unions or associations who represent them and their interests, or for their employers or employer organizations. Since the early 1970s, Goldblatt Partners LLP (formerly known as Sack Goldblatt Mitchell LLP) has represented the “employee” side. The firm has established a stellar reputation as an advocate for the interests of employees before administrative tribunals and all levels of courts in Ontario and at the Supreme Court of Canada, as negotiators for their collective interests with governments, individual employers, and employer organizations, and as lawyers for individuals in ensuring they are treated fairly and properly in their workplace. This long history of consistent and quality representation of individual and collective interests in the workplace and in contract issues has established GPLLP as leaders in our field. GPLLP delivers high-quality advocacy and advice to its clients in an effective and cost-efficient manner. The lawyers at GPLLP are respected and admired by their peers.
