RavenLaw LLP is a labour, employment, and human rights firm headquartered in Ottawa, with additional offices in Toronto, Kingston, and Winnipeg. The firm was founded in 1992, and it works only for the employee side of the table: it represents unions and non-unionized workers, never employers. Its lawyers are licensed in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Nunavut, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories, and the firm offers services in both English and French.
The practice covers collective bargaining, grievance and arbitration work, human rights complaints, long-term disability claims, and Charter litigation, and the firm has appeared before all levels of court in Canada, including the Supreme Court of Canada. RavenLaw also runs advocacy training courses that teach union representatives how to handle grievances and arbitration hearings on their own, covering everything from preliminary objections to cross-examination technique. Several of the firm's lawyers teach at the University of Ottawa, Queen's University, and the University of Manitoba.
In November 2025, RavenLaw hosted an open mic storytelling event for GROWL, the Group of Racialized Ontario Women Litigators, at its Toronto office.
The firm took part in the 2025 Workers' Bowl, an annual fundraiser supporting the Ontario Employment Education and Research Centre's Education and Leadership Fund for Workers in Precarious Employment, run in collaboration with the Workers' Action Centre, which raised over $12,000.
In April 2026, RavenLaw hosted a networking breakfast in Ottawa with the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers.
Lawyers at the firm have presented at the Ontario Bar Association's Labour Law Conference, and have taught at the University of Ottawa, Queen's University, and the University of Manitoba.
