MY PERSPECTIVE
As an authority in employment and labour law, dispute resolution, and litigation management:
Litigation is costly, inefficient, emotionally taxing,
unpredictable, and frequently unnecessary.
Throughout my career, I have prioritized a responsive, modern and value-driven approach to resolving employment and workplace conflicts. As Director of the Ontario Labour Relations Board –widely recognized as the most advanced adjudicative tribunal on the continent – I oversaw the effective disposition of more than 100k legal cases.
As a professional mediator and adjudicator, I have facilitated the settlement of thousands of claims involving individual and collective employment rights, across jurisdictions and borders.
​​
As an experienced COO and executive leader, I have provided the C-suite judgment, Legal Lean Six Sigma advocacy, and cultural transformation strategies required to optimize legal operations throughout North America.
​​
Extensive experience.
Informed judgment.
Practical resolution.
