Conferences/Training
All across Canada
Specially designed for union and management representatives and human resource professionals, as well as lawyers, our conferences provide comprehensive updates on the latest trends and case law in workplace law and labour relations delivered by leading labour lawyers and subject matter experts. Optional workshops accompanying each conference provide the opportunity to explore key topics in more depth with a smaller group led by three experts.
