About Israel Foulon Wong LLP

Israel Foulon Wong LLP is an employment and labour law firm in Toronto, with its office on St. Clair Avenue East. Peter Israel is the firm's founding partner, and Chris Foulon serves as managing partner. Partner Carita Wong's name appears alongside theirs in the firm's current name. Peter Israel was called to the Ontario bar in 1978, Chris Foulon in 2001, and Carita Wong in 2002. By the firm's own account, it has spent more than 20 years guiding employers and employees in Ontario and across Canada toward solutions to workplace disputes.

The firm represents both sides of the employment relationship. Its lawyers advise and represent employees, from entry-level staff to executives, on matters such as wrongful and constructive dismissal, severance negotiations, and human rights complaints, and they advise employers on hiring, workplace policies, and terminations. A separate management-side labour law practice handles union certification, collective bargaining, and grievance arbitration for employers in unionized workplaces, and the firm runs a distinct workplace investigations practice for harassment, discrimination, and misconduct complaints. Peter Israel also offers employment dispute mediation through a separate practice, PI Mediation. The firm describes its lawyers as experienced in representation before administrative tribunals and all levels of court, and Peter Israel's bio notes appearances before numerous tribunals and courts.
