Human rights are an increasingly complex component of legal relationships in Canada. Human rights laws prohibit discrimination and harassment based on certain characteristics in areas such as employment, services, housing, and vocational associations. Our lawyers are on the forefront of litigating issues relating to the prohibited grounds of discrimination including race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics, and other related grounds.
The lawyers at Wray James LLP have unparalleled depth and breadth of experience advising and representing individuals, businesses, and organizations in human rights matters. We advance and defend human rights issues in the Courts, as well as in administrative law hearings, before human rights tribunals, and in labour grievance procedures.
In addition, our lawyers have years of experience designing and drafting anti-discrimination and harassment policies, offering fact-finding and investigative services concerning human rights, and designing and delivering education, training, and media commentary on human rights issues. Wray James LLP has a proven track record of success advising and defending businesses in human rights-related litigation, providing advice to various institutions on their rights and obligations in this complex area of law, and enforcing the human rights of Canadians.
