Background

About Ryan Newell

Ryan Newell became a lawyer in order to fight for social justice. His days are now spent living out that goal, by enforcing the rights of trade unions and workers. Ryan represents trade unions in a wide variety of industries in a broad range of disputes. He approaches his clients’ problems with a curiosity about their unique workplace reality, whether it be a hospital, a factory, a construction site, or a cubicle. He provides advice and representation to unions as they organize new workplaces, engage in collective bargaining, and enforce their collective agreements. He approaches every dispute with an eye for detail, a radar for creative solutions, and a readiness to litigate. He has represented trade unions at the Ontario Labour Relations Board (“OLRB”), the Grievance Settlement Board, the Human Rights Tribunal, and in grievance arbitration.
