Deborah Hudson is the managing partner of Hudson Sinclair LLP and has practised exclusively in labour and employment law since she was called to the bar in 2008. Over the past decade, she has developed significant expertise in conducting independent workplace investigations and serving as an impartial external investigator in complex, sensitive workplace matters.

Deborah conducts investigations into allegations of harassment, bullying, discrimination, other human rights violations, privacy breaches, and fraud.

Deborah also regularly presents on workplace investigations, including facilitating Queen’s University IRC programs, where she shares practical insights and guidance with workplace professionals.

In addition to her investigation practice, Deborah advises both employers and employees on a broad range of labour and employment matters, including workplace policies, accommodation, progressive discipline, and employment contracts and terminations. She also strongly advocates for women’s workplace rights, particularly working mothers’, and regularly advises on pregnancy, parental leave, and related workplace issues, collaborating with the Moms at Work group.
