Sevigny Dupuis LLP

About Sevigny Dupuis LLP

Sevigny Dupuis LLP is an Ottawa law firm that practises exclusively in labour and employment law, acting for both employer and employee clients in disputes ranging from wrongful dismissal litigation to human rights complaints and labour board proceedings. Founders D. Bruce Sevigny and Marie-France Dupuis started the firm in January 2019 after years working together at its predecessor, Sevigny Westdal LLP, which Sevigny had co-founded in 2006. Sevigny was called to the Ontario Bar in 1992 and has practised exclusively in this field for more than twenty-five years, appearing before every level of court in Ontario as well as the Ontario Labour Relations Board and the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. Dupuis has focused exclusively on labour and employment matters since 2012 and is fluently bilingual in English and French.

The firm's two associate lawyers, Amelia Cooke and Noah Houlton, also practise exclusively in labour and employment law, and Houlton, like Dupuis, is fully bilingual. Sevigny Dupuis LLP works out of an office on Hunt Club Road in Ottawa's south end, having moved there from a downtown O'Connor Street address when the firm took its current name in January 2019. Sevigny has been recognized by Best Lawyers in Canada in the Labour and Employment Law category for ten consecutive years as of the 2022 edition, and the firm received a Tier 2 regional ranking for Labour and Employment Law in Ottawa in the 2026 Best Law Firms rankings.
