About Vey Willetts LLP

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Vey Willetts LLP is an employment and labour law firm in downtown Ottawa. Andrew Vey and Paul Willetts founded the firm in 2014, and it's stayed small and focused since, working only on workplace law for both employers and employees. That narrow focus means the firm's lawyers spend most of their time in front of the same courts and tribunals, including the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice, the Court of Appeal for Ontario, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, and labour arbitration boards.

R. Ross Dunsmore, the firm's senior counsel, earned a law degree from Queen's University in 1973 and has practiced employment and labour law since 1975. Dunsmore spent three decades at a large labour and employment law firm before starting an independent practice and later joining Vey Willetts, carrying experience from municipal amalgamation files in Chatham-Kent, Toronto, Hamilton, and Sudbury. Vey Willetts also takes on clients outside Ottawa, across the National Capital Region and into Brockville, Cornwall, Kingston, Pembroke, Petawawa, and Carleton Place.
