About KCY at LAW

KCY at LAW is an employment law firm founded in 2001 by Kathy Chittley-Young, who runs the practice out of Burlington, Ontario, with a second office in Oakville. Chittley-Young earned an Honours B.A. from McMaster University in 1996, a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Windsor in 1999, and was called to the Ontario bar in 2001, so the practice has been going for roughly a quarter century.

The firm represents both employers and employees, which isn't the norm for a practice its size. Employee-side work covers wrongful and constructive dismissal, severance packages, and workplace harassment complaints. On the employer side, the firm advises on employment contracts, workplace policies, human rights complaints, and workforce restructuring. Chittley-Young also holds a certification as an External Workplace Investigator, a credential employers rely on when they need an independent investigation into a workplace complaint. The firm keeps an active blog on Ontario employment law, with new posts added through 2026, and describes its client base as spanning Burlington, the Greater Toronto Area, and the Niagara Region rather than a single town.
