Background

About Alex Treiber

My name is Boris "Alex" Treiber. I am the son of a refugee and the son of a first-generation Canadian.I graduated from the University of Windsor Faculty of Law and the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law at the top of my class, earning both a Canadian and an American law degree. In law school, I was the recipient of numerous scholarships and awards and was selected to give the Valedictorian address to my graduating class.My legal career began at McCarthy Tetrault LLP, one of Canada's Bay Street "Seven Sister" law firms. I summered, articled and was hired into the firm's employer/management-side Labour and Employment Group as a Labour & Employment Associate. In that role, I was a trusted employer-side advisor in all workplace law matters, including, employment standards, wrongful dismissals, unjust dismissals, constructive dismissals, human rights, privacy, workplace investigations, occupational health and safety, labour arbitrations, collective bargaining, and labour and employment issues arising in corporate transactions. In 2018, I left McCarthy Tetrault LLP to move to New York City to join Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, one of America's most preeminent and largest law firms on Wall Street. At that firm, I was hired into the firm's General Litigation Department as a Litigation Associate. In that role, I represented multinational organizations in a wide range of complex civil litigation and investigatory matters, including securities, environmental tort, bankruptcy, products liability class actions, and workplace investigations. I moved back to Toronto in 2021 and rejoined McCarthy Tetrault LLP's Labour and Employment Group before leaving again to start Treiber Law in 2024.I started Treiber Law because I witnessed first-hand a gap in the legal services provided to workers and businesses. Too many workers and businesses are priced out of excellent legal advice.Too many firms drive up costs needlessly when a resolution can be reached expediently without hubris and litigating for the sake of litigating. Too many firms are terrible negotiators, taking unrealistic (and sometimes unethical) positions that only cause the opposing party to harden and refuse to negotiate. I will always look out for your best interests and tell you my honest opinion of your case. I have earned a reputation of being a straight-shooter even when that conversation is difficult.
