About Maggie Sainty
Employment law is Maggie Sainty's field, and the advice covers the full range of questions clients bring in that area. Sainty's an associate in Gowling WLG's Ottawa office and part of the firm's Employment, Labour & Equalities Group. Because Sainty's bilingual, clients can work through their matter in English or French, whichever official language suits them.
Business school came before law school. Sainty studied international business management at Neoma Business School in Reims, France, and finished an international dual degree in business administration at Brock University in 2020. A Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa followed in 2023, earned in the French-language common law program, and the Ontario call came in 2024. Along the way, Sainty clerked at the Federal Court and aims to put what that clerkship taught to work for clients today.
Sainty also writes for the firm. While articling in 2024, Sainty helped write pieces on Ontario's Working for Workers Five Act and on changes to the federal Impact Assessment Act, and later teamed up with partner Bettina Burgess on a 2026 update for Ontario employers on new rules and obligations.
