Having represented numerous clients in the utilities sector over the years, our lawyers are familiar with the legal issues unique to these highly regulated industries, as well as with relevant legislation including the Electricity Act, 1998 and the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998. Our clients include both federally and provincially regulated employers, and range from power utilities and waste services providers to renewable energy companies and energy regulators.
Our work in the utilities sector includes providing support and guidance on day-to-day employment and labour law issues including but not limited to employment standards, executive compensation, health and safety, information management and privacy compliance, human rights, pay equity, as well as labour relations. We also represent our utilities sector clients during rights and interest arbitrations, collective bargaining, wrongful dismissal litigation, as well as proceedings before labour boards, other administrative tribunals and the courts.
