Every client faces its own unique circumstances. Ruth works with her clients to understand their perspective, and tailors her advice to be responsive to their needs. Clients need to understand how the law impacts them and their operations from all angles, and Ruth aims to give real-world guidance to help each client make the choices that are right for them.

Some examples of Ruth’s regular work includes:

• Conducting hearings and appeals before administrative tribunals, labour arbitrators, and at all levels of Court in the province;
• Structuring successful hires and terminations, and defending against employment claims;
• Advising statutory and regulatory bodies on administrative law, including procedural fairness;
• Navigating the employment relationship, including discrimination and accommodation, union-management relations, and workers’ compensation;
• Advising vendors and purchasers on employment matters that arise in corporate transactions.
