About Law at Work

Law at Work is a small Ottawa employment and general counsel practice, operating under the corporate name David K. Law Professional Corporation. Founder David Law founded Law at Work in 2017, after earlier partnerships at Gowling WLG and Emond Harnden LLP, two established Ottawa firms with labour and employment practices. Law was called to the bar in Ontario in 1988, after earning a BA from the University of Toronto in 1983 and an LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1986. The firm has one lawyer.

The practice covers four areas: employment law for employers, employees and unions, occupational health and safety, general counsel services, and legal support for charities and non-profit organizations. Before starting the firm, Law also worked in workers' compensation policy, serving as an appeals officer and policy adviser with Ontario's Workers' Compensation Board, a policy adviser to Nova Scotia's Workers' Compensation Board, and legal advisor to a British Columbia Royal Commission on Workers' Compensation. Law has also been a guest lecturer and former sessional professor at Queen's University's Faculty of Law.
