Join us for our 2026 Labour & Employment Webinar on February 4, where we’ll unpack the most significant developments shaping workplace law in Canada. This year brings critical updates that every employer needs to understand, from evolving termination clauses and new protections for gig workers to navigating new employment standards laws and creative immigration strategies for retaining foreign national employees long-term. Whether you operate locally or globally, these changes will impact how you manage risk, maintain compliance, and foster productive workplace relationships.
  
Our Canadian employment and immigration lawyers will provide practical insights and strategies to help you stay ahead of regulatory shifts and emerging trends. From Ontario’s Bill 30 – Working for Workers Seven Act, to best practices for navigating recent occupational health and safety trends, this session is designed to equip you with actionable guidance for 2026 and beyond.
