About Zubas Flett Liberatore Law LLP
Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Zubas Flett Liberatore Law LLP is a small employment and human rights law firm based in downtown Toronto, at 150 Beverley Street. Loreta Zubas began advocating for clients in 1993, and that practice grew into the firm that today carries the founder's name along with partners Ted Flett and Janine Liberatore. The team, which includes senior associates, counsel, and support staff, now reports more than 90 years of combined experience. It takes work from both sides of the employment relationship: representing employees in wrongful dismissal, contract review, and human rights matters, and advising employers, from small businesses to national companies, on hiring, workplace investigations, and compliance.
The firm's lawyers appear before Ontario courts, labour arbitrators, and the Ontario Labour Relations Board, and its work with unionized employers includes clients in the emergency services sector. It also maintains a practice dedicated to U.S. based companies setting up operations in Ontario, walking American employers through Canadian hiring and employment law as they bring on their first staff here. One of the firm's lawyers previously worked in house before joining, adding perspective on workplace disputes from the employer's side as well as the employee's.
