How experienced are you?

Our experience is deep indeed.

Since his call to the bar in 2009 as far as we are aware no lawyer in Canada has conducted more employment law cases than our principal, Martin Sheard. Martin has won dozens of adjudications across a wide spectrum of venues.

In addition to being one of the very few employment lawyers who has argued a case at the Supreme Court of Canada, Martin served two terms as the elected chair of the civil litigation subsection of the BC branch of the Canadian Bar Association and two terms as the elected chair of the employment law subsection of the BC branch of the Canadian Bar Association.

Martin has successfully argued in the following venues:
