Employers
Strategic labour, employment and HR support for day-to-day issues and high-stakes moments.
About
Experience on both sides of the table, and inside the organization.
Effective workplace advice requires more than knowing the law. It requires understanding people, operations, collective bargaining, organizational pressures and the consequences a decision may have long after the immediate issue is resolved.
One practice. Four ways to help.
Workplace issues rarely fit neatly into one category. Our approach brings together legal, labour-relations and senior HR experience so clients can obtain the expertise the situation actually requires.
Sometimes you need counsel. Sometimes you need HR leadership. Often, you need both.
Mediation + Arbitration
Rima Zamat
Mediator & Arbitrator
Available for appointment as a mediator or arbitrator in labour, employment and workplace disputes. Her background in labour relations, collective bargaining and workplace strategy informs a practical, efficient and resolution-focused approach.
When retained as a mediator or arbitrator, Rima acts independently and impartially and does not represent either party. All appointments are subject to appropriate conflict and independence screening.
Who we help
From start-up to complex unionized workplace.
The engagement is built around the problem, not the other way around.
Unions
Bargaining, grievance strategy, collective agreement issues and labour-relations advice informed by experience on both sides.
Boards + Executives
Independent, senior-level support on leadership transitions, sensitive workplace issues, restructuring and executive matters.
Start-ups + Growing Organizations
Practical HR infrastructure, fractional leadership and workplace advice that can grow with the organization.
How we work
Flexible by design.
A client may need us for one difficult matter, six months of executive coverage, an upcoming round of bargaining or an ongoing advisory relationship. The scope should fit the need.
Defined Project
A clear mandate, deliverables and timeline for a specific business or workplace need.
Interim Mandate
Senior-level coverage during a leave, vacancy, executive transition or recruitment process.
Ongoing Advisory
Access to experienced labour, legal or HR support without building another permanent role.
Specific Matter
Focused representation or advice on a grievance, bargaining issue, investigation, termination or workplace dispute.
