About Koskie Glavin Gordon

Koskie Glavin Gordon is a Vancouver based labour and employment law firm. It came together in September 2013, when Glavin Gordon Clements formed a strategic affiliation with Koskie Minsky LLP of Toronto to create a full service, union side firm. The firm provides legal services to trade unions, pension plans, and health and welfare trusts, along with individual and groups of workers in both the private and public sectors.

Its 19 lawyers handle labour law, employment law, human rights, pensions and benefits, workers' compensation, class actions, administrative law, and civil litigation, as well as copyright, privacy, and libel law matters that come up in union and workplace representation. Clients come from sectors that include construction, transportation, education, mining, and health care. Chambers Canada has ranked the firm Band 1 for Employment and Labour, representing unions, in British Columbia.

Counsel Leo McGrady K.C. brings more than 50 years of litigation practice, including cases at the Supreme Court of Canada, and continues to teach and write on protest law. The firm's own office is in downtown Vancouver. Its Toronto presence runs through the affiliation with Koskie Minsky LLP rather than a separate Koskie Glavin Gordon location.
