We are licensed and insured paralegals specializing in labour law. Our collective experience adds up to well over 100 years in the fields of workers compensation and labour arbitration. This experience allows our team to collaborate and present the strongest argument to obtain a successful outcome.
Since we began in 2001, our advocates have achieved an exceptional record at the appeal level of the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board and at the Workplace Safety & Insurance Appeals Tribunal. At arbitration, our advocates have resolved issues ranging from discipline and discharge cases to complex duty to accommodate cases.
We specialize in complex issues such as occupational disease, chronic pain, hearing loss, stress claims, and labour market re-entry. At arbitration, our advocates have resolved issues ranging from discipline and discharge cases to complex issues surrounding duty to accommodate.
Our team has successfully concluded cases in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.
Our only clients are unions.
We do not under any circumstances accept a fee for service from individual workers.
We view our role as supporting and complimenting the principles of the labour movement and assisting local unions to fulfill their responsibilities in representing their membership.
We have one low hourly rate for our services; we do not work on a retainer basis. You only pay for the work that has been completed; with detailed, monthly billing you'll know exactly what that is.
You've probably heard that it's best to choose one thing and do it really well. Well, we chose labour law. There is no substitute for dedicated experience.
B&S Associates never takes a percentage of an award. We fight hard to get your members the compensation they deserve. The award belongs to the member.
More than just legal expertise, we can tap into our team's deep knowledge of labour unions and advise you on issues beyond compensation claims.
