(Leading partners)According to one client, the lawyers at Fasken‘s practice stand out for being ‘client-focused, responsive and timely’ in their provision of labour and employment counsel. The group demonstrates strength in advising national employers in the aerospace, telecoms, manufacturing and financial sectors, as well as provincial employers, US corporations and international clients, on the full gamut of contentious and non-contentious work.
