Thought leader on any employment law topic

Thought leader on any employment law topic

Stuart Rudner continues to stand out as a thought leader on any employment law topic. Since becoming an owner manager himself of a boutique employment law firm, Stuart seems to have an even deeper understanding of what it is like to be an employer and has in my opinion become expert in advising owner-managers through issues that may arise in the employer-employee relationship.

I have worked with Stuart, and he has assisted me in providing strategic advice to my clients.

On top of being a leading Employment Lawyer, writer, HR professor and business owner, Stuart Rudner is a social media marketing expert and definitely worth “Following” and modeling.

Stuart is friendly, collegial and always responsive to any Employment Law question, using logic and experience to resolve complicated issues and providing practical advice. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

An excellent lawyer

An excellent lawyer

Our firm had the pleasure of dealing with Stuart Rudner last year. He is, simply put, an excellent lawyer. Throughout the entire project, our Executive Team felt that we were availing ourselves of the best possible legal advice that money could buy. Stuart’s knowledge and diligence, combined with his friendly and approachable manner were truly appreciated by our organization. I would not hesitate to recommend Stuart to anyone.

Unwavering Commitment to Excellence
Having worked with Rudner Law for nearly 20 years, I’ve seen firsthand their unwavering commitment to excellence. As an HR professional, I knew our documentation needed an update, but I didn’t realize how many hidden risks we were carrying until we completed their HR Check-UP. Stuart and his team strip away the legal jargon to deliver clear, compliant foundational documents—contracts and policies truly tailored to our business culture. Their expertise provides the peace of mind that allows our team to stop worrying about compliance and focus on strategic HR. They offer an amazing starter package of HR services to help your organization meet legal and ethical requirements in a cost-effective way.
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 Rudner Law

Highly recommend Rudner Law

Stuart worked very closely with me at End to End Networks, helping the company to understand its legal obligations and how to best protect our interests. He helped us adopt a strategic but fair approach to HR and HR law.

Based on my experience working with Stuart over an extended period of time, I can honestly say that Stuart is a highly professional and knowledgeable lawyer. He has the ability to put his clients at ease by explaining the “vocabulary” of law in a way that allows them to more easily understand the meaning of contracts, cases and decisions. Stuart shows a high degree of empathy towards his clients. He is very active in both the legal profession and on social media, and I trust his advice completely on legal matters. Stuart has assembled a legal team who support him and share his values.

I met Stuart at TechConnex when he kindly agreed to run a session for my HR Peer Group on employment contracts. Stuart is a firm believer in education and training, and his session was extremely well-received by the peer group.

I highly recommend Rudner Law to anyone who needs legal advice and assistance.

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.
