Knowing your rights as an employer is as crucial as knowing the implications of hiring and firing. With so many expert employment lawyers in Canada, there’s no reason you can’t protect yourself while hiring a team that excels.

“It’s very important to hire the right people.”

Malcolm MacKillop is a founding member and primary partner at Toronto’s Shields O’Donnell MacKillop LLP. He is a successful trial lawyer, a law professor, a professional speaker, and an author.
