Employment Lawyer & Mediator. Founder of Rudner Law.One of the things that I love about my practice is that every client has a story. It doesn’t matter whether it is an individual seeking advice about their employment, a family-run business, or a multinational corporation. Each one has goals and issues that they need to deal with. And there’s nothing I enjoy more than becoming their Trusted Advisor, educating them, guiding them, and working with them to develop a cost-effective strategy to pursue their goals. And, when disputes arise, I like to advocate on their behalf in order to protect their rights.I am not one of those lawyers that is ideologically married to one side. While many individuals have their rights trampled on, I have also seen employees take advantage of those same rights to the detriment of their employer. The bottom line: I realize that there is good and bad in every group, and that is why my firm works with both employers and employees. We are able to see every situation from both sides.Not that I set out to win awards, but the recognition I've received means a lot. For four consecutive years I have been been selected by my peers for inclusion in ‘The Best Lawyers in Canada’ in the area of Employment Law. I have been repeatedly named in Canadian HR Reporter’s Employment Lawyers Directory (directory of top employment law and immigration law practitioners in Canada), and was also named one of Canada’s top Legal Social Media Influencers. My Canadian HR Law Group on LinkedIn now has over 15,000 members. I have also been recognized as the only Legal Influencer in Canadian HR Law in the first Lexology Awards, 2018. And my previous firm was voted one of the Top Three Employment & Labour Boutiques in Canada in Canadian HR Reporter Readers’ Choice Awards in 2016 and 2017 (the first two years these awards were given out). Chosen as a winner of the Canadian Employment Law Firm of the Year for 2019 in the Global Law Experts Annual Awards.
