Membership Associations

Our lawyers are experienced in the provision of legal services to a range of membership associations, each with its own unique challenges and needs depending on the size and organizational structure of the association, as well as the nature of the membership that they represent. We act for a diversity of clients in this sector, from business and professional associations to civic and social organizations.

In respect of their own operations, our membership associations sector clients benefit from our lawyers’ significant experience when they seek advice and representation in relation to labour relations, employment law and litigation, human rights, and privacy matters. Additionally, we regularly offer training seminars so that these organizations – and their membership – can remain up-to-date on the latest developments in these areas of law.
