Employment & Labour LawEmployment & Labour LawAbout Christopher M. Little
Chris Little is a Toronto partner at Filion Wakely Thorup Angeletti LLP whose work spans labour relations and employment law from end to end. Clients come in every size, from small businesses to large organizations in the private and public sectors, and Chris advises unionized and non-unionized workplaces alike.
Chris has been with Filion since 1992, three years before the 1995 call to the Ontario bar, and has been a partner there since 2002. Both of Chris's degrees, an honours BA and an LLB, come from Queen's University.
Chris defends employers charged under Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act, right through trial when a case goes that far, and in October 2023 co-presented a Filion webinar on health and safety strategy with fellow partner James Jennings. Day to day, the practice also takes in arbitrations, cases at the Ontario Labour Relations Board and negotiating collective agreements.
Beyond client work, Chris sits on the Advisory Committee of the Centre for Law in the Contemporary Workplace at Queen's University, and has been listed in The Best Lawyers in Canada for labour and employment law since 2023.
