About Adele Burchart

Finding answers in the law to put my client’s best case forward is what drives me. After more than 30 years of experience as a lawyer, I still love the challenge of a new problem to solve. My practice is built on experience and solid relationships, and my approach is hardworking and straightforward. For many years, I had a broad civil litigation practice that mostly included employment law and human rights files. I am proud to have represented clients across all levels of court in British Columbia, as well as before administrative tribunals. Recently, I represented a client before the BC Human Rights Tribunal in a racial discrimination case and obtained an award in excess of I have joined the talented team at Forte Workplace Law to focus exclusively on employment law and workplace human rights for this next chapter of my career. I advise both workers and businesses, and I am experienced in drafting and interpreting employment contracts and non-competition agreements, advising on terminations, exit strategies, severance packages, discipline and performance management, workplace harassment, and discrimination issues. I am committed to finding effective strategies to resolve conflict and pursuing litigation when necessary. I was raised in the Fraser Valley and have raised my own family here. With our kids now off to university and into the workforce, I am leaning into my law practice with renewed energy and excitement for the future!
