Michelle McCann

Associate

“Things are only impossible until they’re not.”

Transactions that work.

Success comes to those who have vision and can envision what is going to happen. Lawyers need to have this kind of foresight, which is something at which Michelle excels. She helps clients in union and non-union environments understand their legal position and their options, and create clear policies, operational procedures and employment contracts that articulate expectations and meet statutory requirements. This planning allows employers to avoid some of the uncertainties of the employment relationship.

Representative Matters

Strategic legal advice is a key ingredient to running a successful business. With it, business leaders can focus their efforts on the most important thing of all: growing their businesses. Michelle works with all types of employers and has:
  • Assisted employers working under their first collective agreements with unions.
  • Defended employers in wrongful dismissal suits.
  • Drafted workplace policy manuals.
  • Assisted businesses to prepare immigration applications for foreign skilled workers.
