A leader in his field

A leader in his field

I have worked with Stuart Rudner over the last few years. Stuart is a leader in his field and I look to him to provide the strategic guidance and advice our company needs when it comes to employment law matters. He has done exceptionally, and I would highly recommend Stuart and his team to anyone needing employment law advice.

A leader in the field of employment law

A leader in the field of employment law

I have gotten to know Stuart over the period of time I have been consulting and he has always willingly provided top-notch advice in the area of employment law. I have purchased his textbooks, ”You’re fired – Just Cause for Dismissal in Canada” and have found them to be an invaluable source of information and refer to them frequently. There is no doubt that he is a leader in the field of employment law and I would recommend him to anyone that required legal advice and guidance. One of the things that impresses me most about Stuart is his tireless contribution to the field of employment law and his willingness to offer support wherever and whenever he can. As a small consulting firm, he has offered incredible support to me and I am very grateful for his wisdom and guidance.

Highly recommend Stuart Rudner to mediate your Employment Law cases

Highly recommend Stuart Rudner to mediate your Employment Law cases

Having over 30 years of experience in representing Executive Employees and Companies, large and small, and having known Stuart Rudner since the late 90’s, I would highly recommend Stuart to mediate your Employment Law cases. Stuart is an authority in Employment Law and also very personable. He is able to combine his extensive knowledge of Employment Law and his interpersonal skills to resolve cases. He clearly prides himself on his ability to help parties resolve their disputes, and he works tirelessly to do so. Stuart does everything he can to achieve a positive result. I look forward to having Stuart mediate my future Employment Law cases.

Very proactive and understanding

Very proactive and understanding

I had a need to retain the services of a lawyer for a personal legal matter. As I worked at Miller Thomson at the time, in the IT department, I had knowledge of several lawyers I could have worked with but I chose Stuart because I felt that he had integrity and a sense of what is right and what is wrong. In the course of working with him on my legal issue over the next year, I found him to be very proactive and understanding of my issues in this matter. He handled everything with professionalism and class. I would, and have, highly recommended him to anyone that is in need of any legal advice or the services of a litigation lawyer.

Some Testimonials

A true partner

A true partner

I have consulted with Stuart on a number of files and referred my most trusted clients to him for expert advice and consummate professionalism. I rest easy knowing that my employment law and HR issues are in the hands of a true leader when Stuart takes on a file. Stuart has provided his guidance and advice to many of my clients whether they be on the employer or employee side of the legal equation. He is knowledgeable in the law, responsive to the clients, and strategic in his approach. I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart when an employment law issue surfaces.

He understood my circumstances and concerns

He understood my circumstances and concerns

Stuart’s practice is focused on employment law, an area in which he has developed considerable expertise. He provided legal counsel for my termination when I was recently let go. He understood my circumstances and concerns and provided understanding of the legal process and the options available.

Stuart represented me and kept me informed at every stage. He advised and represented me in a manner designed to achieve practical, cost-effective solutions.

With his experience we did not have to go to court in order to reach a reasonable settlement in a short period of time. It was a positive and rewarding experience under the circumstances. Stuart’s focus is the bottom line: helping clients to maximize results while minimizing costs. I strongly recommend that if you have any employment-related issues, including offer letters or severance packages to be reviewed, that you contact Stuart. He advises and represents employers and employees.

Professional and Wise

Stuart, I was very impressed with your approach and results at the mediation last week. My client sent a very positive message to Tiffany and I wanted to thank you for your professionalism, humour and wisdom. I look forward to working together in the future.

Stuart Offers the Toronto Star a Candid Take on Wage-Theft Lawsuit

May 29, 2026
A class-action lawsuit against One Community Solutions (OCS) — a private security company formerly contracted by the City of Toronto — has escalated, with OCS filing a crossclaim arguing the city and TTC bear responsibility for the alleged mistreatment of its workers. Employees are suing OCS for systemic wage theft, unpaid overtime, and unsafe working conditions. Stuart offered a candid take on the workers' prospects: "We'd like to think governments won't work with bad actors and would take action once they discover something wrong — but there is a difference between what is legal and what is ethical."

Stuart Rudner Discusses Employment Rights Amid Amazon Delivery Drivers’ Strike in Saskatoon

May 13, 2026
In a recent interview with CTV News Saskatoon, Employment Lawyer Stuart Rudner weighed in on the ongoing strike by delivery drivers contracted by Dragonfly, a company that delivers packages for Amazon. The workers, who are classified as independent contractors, walked off the job to protest unsafe working conditions, unpredictable scheduling, and falling piece-rate pay, with some stating, “They don't need drivers, they want slaves.” Stuart Rudner explained that issues surrounding the misclassification of gig workers as independent contractors have been on the rise in recent years. Because these drivers are not classified as traditional employees, they lack standard employment protections such as minimum wage guarantees, benefits, and the right to unionize easily. This case highlights the growing tension in the gig economy and the urgent need for clarity regarding workers' rights and employer obligations.
