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.

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.

Carola Mittag - President Workplace Safety Group

Stuart can be counted on

Stuart is a leader of the employment law bar. He keep abreast of every development in his practice area, and through his blog and constant media presence he helps others keep up as well. Stuart can be counted on to provide practical advice and wise counsel on all aspects of employment law. A good guy to have in your corner!

Astute Employment Lawyer

Stuart Rudner is a well-informed, astute Employment Lawyer with his finger on the pulse of emerging developments. His frequent top notch blogs, articles and social media posts are a must read for employers, employees and his peers.
Sheryl Smolkin Journalist, Lawyer

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.

Pina Malascalza

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.
Linda Cardie - Client Excellence Advisor RL Solutions - Toronto, Ontario

A very experienced and talented lawyer

I first came to know Stuart through his advice on LinkedIn and other sources such as HRPA and was very impressed with his knowledge and how he is able to provide solutions. Stuart is a very experienced and talented lawyer when it comes to employment law and I know that no matter how difficult a case, I am fully confident going to him for advice as I consider him to be the best in his field.

I recommend Stuart to all my clients knowing that they are in good hands and will have the best Employment Lawyer!

Samina Sial - CHRP

Instrumental in assisting our clients

I have worked with Stuart for several years now across a number of client projects. Without exception, he continues to handle each situation with great care, integrity, honesty and in a very practical and highly responsive manner. His depth of knowledge and expertise in employment law matters is exceptional. He brings an infectious degree of passion and energy to his work. Stuart not only delivers results but has strong inter-personal skills and always remains calm and focused in the face of highly stressful situations. I have and will continue to recommend him to our clients without reservation.

Stuart was the top choice when a close family member was seeking legal advice related to a difficult termination. He and his team handled the file with utmost sensitivity, urgency, and tact. I was confident about my referral to him as I've known Stuart for many years as being one of the gurus of employment law, with a deep and broad base of both legal and practical knowledge. Rudner Law helps employers and employees, and I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Stuart who is seeking legal advice on employment matters.

I have nothing but glowing things to say about the law firm of Rudner Law. From the receptionists to the legal assistants to the lawyers themselves, they are a class act. I am a huge fan of Stuart Rudner and his team at Rudner Law. Having worked with many law firms over the years, Stuart Rudner and his team are among the best. Their attention to detail, patience and "client first" approach helps the process and improve the experience through stressful legal issues. I genuinely appreciate that no question ever feels too small or irrelevant for them to answer. Rudner Law provides professional and competent service. Their efforts to educate and connect with people via information sessions, and their podcast Fire Away, a YouTube employment law show, was a testament to their commitment and drive.I have worked with Nadia Zaman; she is focused and determined and works very hard to achieve results for her clients. Nadia has a great passion for law and will settle for nothing less than a realistic and successful outcome. I am impressed and inspired by Nadia's work ethic and enthusiasm to achieve the best consistently. It is truly an asset to have Nadia on your team. I strongly recommend her.I have referred many business colleagues that were just as happy with Rudner Law. Look no more! Employer or Employee Problems. I suggest Rudner Law as your one and only choice.

The team at Rudner is extremely helpful. Calling around the initial call really made me feel comfortable and seems genuinely caring about my concerns. Dealing with a situation where you need a lawyer, the process is bound to be long and stressful but I would recommend this team to help mitigate those feelings. They are also extremely responsive and reachable. 5/5 would recommend

I would definitively recommend Rudner Law to anyone seeking advice and help in the related to the Employment Laws matters. Working with them I was able to improve the original Separation Package after my employment termination by about 20%. Their services are reasonably priced and comprehensive professional support was provided during my negotiations process with employer.

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 had a consultation with Nadia Zaman due to changes in my company resulting in a new employee agreement. She was extremely helpful, courteous, polite, and explained the legal situation to me in simple terms. I never saw a lawyer before, and I never really heard great things about seeing one. I was worried they were going to nickel and dime me for every single thing, however they have been very fair, and answered my questions fairly. I would recommend them.

From the moment I stepped into the offices of Rudner Law I felt very at ease. I was warmly greeted by Janise. I than met with Brittany Taylor, one of the Employment Lawyers. I liked Brittany right away. She walked me through the process, explained how she could assist me. Brittany is knowledgeable, compassionate and took every possible step to ensure I got the results I deserved. Rudner Law exceeded my expectations.
