For 50 years, Goldblatt Partners LLP has blazed a trail for working people and trade unions in Ontario, Canada. While labour law remains a core practice area, we also have thriving civil litigation and criminal law practices, and represent clients in a broad spectrum of other types of disputes, including public interest, constitutional, human rights and Aboriginal rights litigation, public inquiries and coroners inquests, and professional regulation and discipline matters.
Our lawyers have been involved in numerous ground breaking cases before tribunals of all kinds and at all levels of the courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada. One of the secrets to our success is our accomplished legal research group whose members are dedicated to assisting the firm’s litigators with all of their research, legal writing and litigation support needs. Together we strive to obtain the best possible results for our clients through strategic planning, skillful negotiation and advocacy, and forceful litigation.
We stay on top of changes in the law. Our lawyers speak frequently at seminars and conferences, teach at law schools and universities, and frequently write and publish within their areas of expertise.
We believe that the practice of law presents unique opportunities to serve the community. We often engage in pro bono service, representing a wide array of individuals, public advocacy organizations and not-for-profit entities, including civil rights organizations, welfare rights coalitions, poverty law coalitions, environmental groups, and equality-seeking groups.
We are committed to providing the highest quality legal services in a welcoming and accessible environment. We have offices in Toronto and Ottawa and serve our clients in both English and French.
