Blumberg Segal LLP has broad and extensive experience in representing Directors and Officers of corporations who have been named in legal actions commenced as against them individually, or together with their corporations, whether such actions are before the Courts or before one of the hundreds of Administrative Tribunals in Ontario.

There has been increasing interest in corporate governance of charities and how charities are run and the degree to which they are transparent and accountable to their donors and stakeholders. We are sometimes called in to help a non-profit or charity that is suffering from the effects of poor governance. Examples include an executive director who receives a full time salary while refusing to be accountable to the board of the organization paying the salary, or an executive director of a charity controlling the charity by having a large number of proxies for every board meeting!

Attorney General of Canada v. Johnstone , 2014 FCA 2014 , upheld the lower court decisions and maintained that failure to provide reasonable accommodation to employees for child care needs is discriminatory under the Human Rights Act . The Federal Court of Appeal however went further to provide some guidance on what would trigger protection of “ family status ” under Human Rights legislation.

Additionally, if you are an aggreived shareholder of a corporation, Blumberg Segal LLP has the experience and ability to commence an action on your behalf against the corporation, and in some cases as against the Directors and Officers of the corporation.
