Andrew Bratt

Andrew Bratt is a partner in Gowling WLG's Toronto office and the national practice group leader for the Employment, Labour & Equalities practice.

Andrew's practice focuses on all aspects of employment law. He has appeared before several administrative tribunals, courts, arbitrators and mediators, representing employers in employment-related litigation, human rights proceedings, employment standards claims, and workers' compensation proceedings.

In his practice, Andrew provides clients with advice on recruitment and hiring, employment agreements, restrictive covenants, employment standards, workplace policies, disability management, accommodation, workforce reductions, discipline, terminations, unjust dismissal, wrongful dismissal and disability benefits related claims. Andrew is also regularly called upon to advise corporate clients with respect to labour and employment issues arising out of various types of corporate transactions.

Having spent six months seconded to the legal department of one of Canada's largest retailers, Andrew appreciates the unique dynamic between the business unit and legal department of a large organization, and understands the importance of acting as a strategic partner to his clients, not simply as a legal service provider.

Andrew speaks and writes frequently on a broad range of employment law topics and regularly guest lectures at the law faculties at Queen's University, the University of Western Ontario and the University of Toronto.

Andrew is also a Certified Legal Project Manager.
