Extremely personable and professional

Extremely personable and professional

We have been working with Stuart Rudner and his team for years. This long-standing relationship is due to the fact that Stuart and his team are extremely personable and professional. They are quick to respond and always ensure you understand the options available to you. They pride themselves on ensuring their clients’ satisfaction and understanding of what the law requires.

We needed his top notch guidance

We needed his top notch guidance

I have found Stuart to be very inclusive. When I asked him to come to St. Catharines to do an Employer Seminar on Terminations – he was immediately willing. We needed his knowledge and practicality in Niagara and he was happy to assist us. Thanks for making the trip, Stuart. Employers ask me when you are coming again.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
