About David

David Brannen is the founder and managing lawyer of Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, a national firm focused exclusively on long-term disability, CPP disability, and employment law claims. Brannen is a former licensed occupational therapist, a background the firm says gives him direct insight into the medical and functional realities of disability claims alongside the legal ones. Brannen started the firm in 2013 after his family was affected by a denied disability claim, growing it into a firm that serves clients across Canada from offices in Moncton, Halifax, Ottawa, and Toronto. He developed the firm's Story Alignment Method, a five-step approach to preparing disability and employment claims, and has authored several books on Canadian disability and employment law. Brannen also hosts a weekly YouTube show, Ask a Lawyer Live, answering viewer questions on long-term disability, CPP disability, and wrongful dismissal issues.
