Testimonials

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.

Stuart Proactively Protected us by Thinking Ahead

I have known Stuart for many years and when it came time to redo our employment agreements, he was my only call.  He changed our simple 2 page contract to a detailed agreement that protects us and our employees and removed any doubt about our responsibilities under the current laws. We update the agreement every year to make sure it meets the current legislation and best practices.  From Day 1, we had a clause to allow temporary layoffs. I had no clue at the time why Stuart included it in the agreement, but based on the current COVID-19 crisis, I’m glad that he proactively protected us by thinking ahead.

Stuart is a person of trust

Stuart is a person of trust

I have known Stuart for more than five years. As an advisor to clients in Senior Management positions I need someone I can trust when I refer clients for legal counsel relating to their employment. Stuart is a person of trust. Not just because of his knowledge and skill in the legal arena but also because of the way he treats people – with care and respect – important at all times but especially during the often tough circumstances he is helping them work through.

A true partner and advocate

A true partner and advocate

I have had the pleasure to know Stuart Rudner now for a number of years. In my capacity as a senior HR leader, I have found Stuart’s employment law advice to always be strategic. He is both proactive and responsive, and is a true partner and advocate for the companies that I have been associated with.

Some Testimonials

Effective and Creative Mediator

Stuart was an effective and creative mediator and was able to obtain a resolution in a situation that was difficult for the parties. I recommend Stuart to others as he was also a pleasure to deal with and worked well with my client.

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.

Knowledgeable, strategic and responsive

He is knowledgeable, strategic and responsive, and we look to Stuart and his team as Strategic Advisors when it comes to employment law.
