Outstanding guidance through a complex workplace investigation

When our company faced a sensitive internal investigation involving allegations of workplace misconduct, we were referred to James Lingwood at McLennan Ross. From our initial consultation in his Edmonton office, it was clear we were in expert hands. James possesses a deep, practical understanding of labour and employment law that goes beyond textbook knowledge. He meticulously guided our HR team and leadership through every step of the process, ensuring we adhered to all provincial regulations while protecting the company's interests and maintaining a fair environment.
