Education

Canada’s education system touches the lives of millions in their roles as students, educators, administrators and parents. A complex set of laws affect the rights, responsibilities and entitlements of these stakeholders, including public, administrative, human rights, constitutional, privacy and municipal law.

Our lawyers have extensive experience acting for governments, public and private school boards, universities and colleges, educators and families on a variety of education matters. Among other things, we act for employers in unionized and non-unionized workplaces, we advise on and litigate Charter and human rights law breaches, we represent educators and students in disciplinary hearings, we assist with all of the commercial aspects of running educational facilities, advise on real estate, land use, construction and infrastructure matters, and advise on tax matters.

We take a multi-disciplinary approach to our education files, engaging our public, constitutional, labour and employment, municipal and commercial lawyers as necessary to ensure our clients receive expert advice that is tailored to their needs.
