About Robin Anderson Barrister and Solicitor

Robin Anderson Barrister and Solicitor is a sole practitioner employment law firm in Waterloo, Ontario. It works both sides of the employment relationship, taking cases for employees and for employers, and it keeps to a focused set of workplace issues: wrongful and constructive dismissal, discrimination and harassment, severance package reviews, and employment contract reviews. Robin Anderson earned a law degree at the University of Ottawa and was called to the Ontario bar in 2017, and has appeared before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Divisional Court, the Ontario Small Claims Court, and the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.

Because the firm acts for both workers and organizations, it sees the same disputes from each direction, whether that's testing if a severance offer matches what the law requires or checking that an employment contract really protects the interests it's meant to. The firm's founder lives with family in Kitchener-Waterloo, and the office sits on Northfield Drive West in the north end of the city. The site sums up the approach with a plain comparison to high-rise window washers, describing the work as careful, efficient, and affordable.

The neighbourhood

Waterloo Region is one of the country's denser concentrations of employers, which is exactly the working landscape an employment practice lives in. Waterloo built its early reputation on insurance, once earning the nickname 'the Hartford of Canada,' and insurers such as Sun Life Financial and Manulife Financial remain among the city's largest employers, alongside the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and a well-known technology sector. The firm's own office is up in the north end, on Northfield Drive West (Regional Road 50), an arterial that ties into Highway 85. That makes it a practical base for a practice that takes clients from across Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge rather than one anchored to a single downtown.

Frequently asked questions

I was let go without proper notice. Can Robin Anderson help?
Yes. Wrongful and constructive dismissal is a core part of the practice. The firm looks at whether an employer gave the advance notice, or the pay in lieu of notice, that the law requires, and it acts for employees bringing these claims as well as employers defending them. You can reach the office at 519-772-7620 or info@robinanderson.law.
Does the firm handle workplace discrimination and harassment claims?
Yes. The firm takes on discrimination and harassment claims, including sexual harassment and dismissal on the basis of disability, and it has appeared before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. It represents both employees bringing these claims and employers responding to them.
Can Robin Anderson review my severance package or employment contract?
Yes. Severance review is one of the firm's focus areas, checking whether the amount offered is appropriate based on the relevant legislation and past court decisions. The firm also reviews employment contracts to see whether the terms protect your interests. Contact the office to arrange a review.
Does the firm only act for employees, or for employers too?
Both. Across all four of its focus areas, wrongful and constructive dismissal, discrimination and harassment, severance package review, and employment contract review, the firm takes clients on either side of a workplace dispute.
Where is the office and how do I get in touch?
The office is at 180 Northfield Drive West, Suite 4, in the north end of Waterloo. You can call 519-772-7620, fax 226-647-0303, or email info@robinanderson.law, and there's a contact form on the firm's site.
What are Robin Anderson's qualifications?
Robin Anderson earned a law degree at the University of Ottawa and was called to the Ontario bar in 2017. The practice is limited to employment law, and it has appeared before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Divisional Court, the Ontario Small Claims Court, and the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.
