Virtual appointmentsAbout Loewenberg Psarris Workplace Law LLP
Loewenberg Psarris Workplace Law LLP is a small employment and labour law firm based in Toronto, with its office at Yonge and Lawrence. The firm was co-founded by Madeleine Loewenberg and Betty Psarris, who was called to the Ontario bar in 2007, and it acts for both employers and employees across the employment relationship. Loewenberg has practiced exclusively in employment and labour law since 2002, appearing before the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Federal Court of Canada, and various administrative tribunals. Psarris holds an LL.B. and an LL.L. (Licentiate in Civil Law) from the University of Ottawa's National Program and appears before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, the Ontario Labour Relations Board, and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal.
The practice spans both non-union and unionized workplaces: employment contracts, terminations, human rights and accommodation, occupational health and safety, and Workplace Safety and Insurance Act claims on one side, and collective bargaining, grievance arbitration, and union certification matters on the other. The firm also conducts independent, third-party workplace investigations and delivers workplace training on human rights, employment standards, and health and safety. It offers virtual consultations alongside its Yonge and Lawrence office.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The office sits in Yonge Lawrence Village, the stretch of Yonge Street around Lawrence Avenue that the local business improvement area describes as an established family community with some of the city's better known schools, restaurants, cafes, and independent retail stores, a mix the BIA calls old time shopping alongside modern day living. It's a midtown commercial strip rather than the downtown legal core, which suits a small firm that meets employer and employee clients in person for consultations and investigation interviews. The office has direct subway access and on site parking, and the firm also offers virtual consultations for clients elsewhere in the province.
