Employment & Labour LawEmployment & Labour LawAbout Katherine Golobic
Katherine Golobic is an associate at Duntrune LLP who acts for employees and businesses alike, covering a working relationship from the hiring stage through discipline to termination. The aim is advice that's honest, objective and clear-eyed, so a client on either side can make an informed decision while the law keeps shifting.
Katherine finished a J.D. at the University of Toronto in 2020. Articling came next, at a Toronto firm devoted to labour and employment law, and Katherine stayed on there as an associate before moving to Duntrune, where Katherine is the firm's newest member. During 2021 and 2022, while with Levitt Sheikh, Katherine co-wrote several Financial Post employment columns alongside Howard Levitt.
Courtroom and hearing work is a real part of the job. Katherine has represented clients before boards, tribunals and courts at more than one level, and recent matters reach the Ontario Labour Relations Board, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Day to day, the work moves between litigation, drafting agreements and strategic advice, with careful preparation and a practical answer to a tangled problem as the goal.
Katherine belongs to the Employment Lawyers Association of Ontario. The direct way in is extension 103 on Duntrune's main line, 416.218.5540, or email at kgolobic@duntrune.law.
