Jim represents employers and employees in wrongful and constructive dismissal claims, grievance arbitrations, human rights proceedings and occupational health and safety prosecutions.  He has appeared before various administrative tribunals and regularly appears before the Superior Court of Justice.  Jim has spoken at various employment law conferences and has instructed university students in human resources courses.
