Hudson Sinclair LLP

About Hudson Sinclair LLP

Hudson Sinclair LLP is a labour and employment law firm with offices in downtown Toronto and Oakville. Alex Sinclair and Deborah Hudson founded the firm in 2021 after meeting years earlier while both worked at another management-side labour and employment firm. Sinclair subsequently spent about eight years at another labour and employment firm, becoming a partner there before the two teamed up to start their own practice, and the firm's name combines its founders' surnames.

Hudson Sinclair represents employers in grievance arbitrations, collective bargaining, and workplace policy matters, and it's regularly retained by public and private sector organizations to conduct independent workplace investigations into harassment, discrimination, and Code of Conduct complaints. A distinct part of the practice is police law: the firm acts as counsel to police chiefs, police services boards, and First Nations police governing authorities in disciplinary proceedings and Coroner's Inquests. It also advises individual employees on wrongful dismissal claims, with contingency arrangements available so a client doesn't pay unless the claim succeeds. The team includes six lawyers, several of whom trained at Osgoode Hall Law School, Western University, or the University of Toronto before joining the firm.
