Testimonials

I can’t recommend Stuart and the team at Rudner law enough. 

I can’t recommend Stuart and the team at Rudner law enough.  I have engaged them with several clients and have been very happy with their support.

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.

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.

Knowledge, skill and dedicated attention to the case at hand

Knowledge, skill and dedicated attention to the case at hand

Workplace Safety Group has a long-standing, professional relationship with Stuart Rudner, of Rudner Law, both as its’ corporate counsel, and as a referral resource for clients dealing with issues around workplace harassment and violence, unlawful dismissal and other employment issues. All clients WSG has referred have had successful outcomes due to Mr. Rudner’s knowledge, skill and dedicated attention to the case at hand.

On a personal note, Stuart is approachable, values-centred and an exceptional communicator, stemming from his passion to help his clients. Where some might hesitate to contact a lawyer, I would recommend Rudner Law as a first stop when dealing with employment matters. WSG is fortunate to have Rudner Law on our team as legal counsel, and to the benefit of our clients.

Some Testimonials

Quality legal services and emotional support when needed

Working with Nadia Zaman and the Rudner Law team was a pleasure. Not only did Nadia explain my litigation and non-litigation options, but she also had my best interest in mind when advising on managing my employer and anticipating their next steps. I was happy to learn that litigation was not the only way to handle my workplace situation. Although I received guidance on the likelihood of my case succeeding at trial, I never felt I needed to take my problem to court. In addition to explaining my legal rights, Nadia helped me understand some employment law fundamentals that would help me make informed choices in other workplaces throughout my career. In addition to providing quality legal services and emotional support when I needed one, Nadia helped keep my budget in check. She advised me on the cost-saving ways to communicate with my legal team. Finally, I am thankful to Nadia Zaman and Rudner Law for addressing my case holistically and consistently keeping my legal issues, emotional needs and financial constraints at the forefront of their mind.

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.
