As employers navigate rapid workplace transformation driven by evolving technologies, shifting workforce expectations, and increasing organizational complexity, Gowling WLG is further strengthening its Employment, Labour & Equalities Practice Group with the addition of partner Lisa Cabel and counsel Kaley Dodds in Toronto.

Joining together from a global professional services firm, Lisa and Kaley bring complementary labour, employment, and human rights practices that reflect the firm’s continued focus on supporting employers through increasingly multifaceted workforce issues.

With more than 20 years of experience advising employers on complex workplace and organizational matters, Lisa brings a senior leadership approach to high-stakes workplace restructurings, executive-level issues, and sensitive risk management challenges. She is recognized for her judgment, clarity, and nuanced understanding of the broader operational and reputational considerations shaping employer decisions.

Kaley advises employers across a broad range of labour and employment matters, bringing a practical and business-focused approach to disputes, employee relations issues, workplace investigations, and other sensitive workplace matters. Clients value her clear, responsive guidance in managing day-to-day workforce issues and more complex employment challenges.

“Employers are dealing with challenges that are interconnected and rarely confined to a single area of the business,” said Pierre Pilote, Chair of Gowling WLG’s Specialized Practices Department. “Organizations require measured, integrated guidance, and Lisa and Kaley bring valuable perspectives in supporting clients as these issues continue to grow in scope and significance.”
