Employment & Labour LawEmployment & Labour LawAbout Casey M. Dockendorff
Casey M. Dockendorff is a partner in the London office of Filion Wakely Thorup Angeletti, advising and representing employers on labour and employment law. Public bodies are a big part of that work. Municipalities, school boards and hospitals are among the organizations Casey acts for, alongside private sector clients, and in both unionized and non-union settings. Though based in London, Casey regularly advises clients throughout Ontario, the Greater Toronto Area included, and across Canada.
Casey was called to the Ontario bar in 2005 and spent two years as an associate at a large management-side labour and employment firm in Toronto. Five years as in-house counsel for a major Ontario municipality came next, a role that gave Casey a real feel for what public employers need in practice and the problems they run into. Casey came to Filion as an associate in 2011 and was made a partner in 2015.
Employers regularly retain Casey to lead workplace investigations, and to train their own staff to handle them. At contract time Casey often speaks for the employer at the bargaining table. When a dispute does go to a hearing, Casey appears as counsel before arbitrators, the Ontario Labour Relations Board, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and the Ontario courts.
Casey is also a familiar voice at HR conferences and seminars around Ontario, offering practical advice drawn from experience, and has contributed to employment law books from LexisNexis, Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer. Before law school, Casey studied psychology and criminology at St. Thomas University in Fredericton and graduated with distinction.
Practice areas
Workplace investigations
Casey is brought in to carry out workplace investigations for employers, and also trains clients so they can handle investigations of their own effectively.

Dismissal, human rights and restrictive covenant disputes
Litigation files include wrongful and constructive dismissal claims, human rights complaints, and fights over non-compete clauses and similar restrictive covenants. Casey argues these before arbitrators, the Ontario Labour Relations Board, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and the Ontario courts.
