Heenan Blaikie is one of Canada’s top national law firms with over 450 lawyers in our 9 offices located in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. We deliver strategic legal advice and innovative business solutions under six broad sectors: labour and employment, litigation, business law, tax, intellectual property and entertainment. Our clients range from Canada’s largest firms to regional start-ups, public institutions and government bodies. We also represent multi-national and international clients seeking to protect and expand their interests in Canada.
Recognized as Canada’s preeminent – and largest – labour and employment practice, we offer a tremendous breadth of resources and depth of expertise to both public and private sector clients. Our more than 110 labour and employment lawyers provide employers and employer associations with a full range of legal services, including:
- Providing opinions on emerging and strategic issues
- Making rigorous representation before the courts, arbitrators and administrative boards and tribunals
- Appearing frequently before all levels of the courts on such issues as judicial review, picketing injunctions, wrongful dismissal and employment contract enforcement.
Our broad labour and employment practice has been augmented recently in two key areas:
- Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) and Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)
- Pensions and benefits.
Governments regularly call upon us to provide input in the development of legislative amendments to labour statutes, and to advise and counsel labour relations boards across the country. We have also been privileged to participate in many groundbreaking cases before the Supreme Court of Canada in labour and employment law. Our lawyers consistently publish in peer-reviewed academic journals, and teach at law schools across Canada.
Our practice is founded upon a fierce dedication and ongoing commitment to facilitating our clients’ effective relationships with their unions and employees. We know that a harmonious and productive workplace environment is founded upon mutual respect, a proactive approach to legal issues, and a dedication to constructive conflict resolution. Our services are provided in a manner consistent with this philosophy while ensuring our clients achieve their strategic objectives.
We also practice this philosophy within Heenan Blaikie. In 2007, the firm was listed as one of Canada’s 50 Best Workplaces by Canadian Business. This recognition validates the strength of our firm’s culture, which is based on a respectful, congenial and productive work atmosphere. We are proud to be included in this list because it is an achievement that acknowledges the contributions of each of our firm’s 1,000 lawyers, managers and employees.

I am very impressed by the quick and efficient responses that I have received from Ius Laboris firms. It is reassuring to know that my business is important to these firms and that the alliance really works.
