Toronto—Dentons is pleased to welcome Meaghen Russell as a partner in our Employment, Labour and Pensions group.

Based in our Toronto office, Meaghen's practice involves advising and representing employers on a wide range of employment and labour matters, including complicated human rights issues, workplace accommodation, wrongful dismissal litigation, and employment contracts and policies. She has represented clients in numerous trials, mediations and hearings before various tribunals.

Meaghen regularly provides training to clients on a variety of topics, including workplace accommodation, and workplace violence and harassment. She has also participated in a number of comparative law seminars and presentations that focus on the differences between Canadian and US employment law. Prior to practicing in Ontario, Meaghen practiced with a full-service law firm in Chicago, where she represented both private and public sector employers in the areas of employment, labour, education law and civil rights defence.

“We are very fortunate to have Meaghen join our growing employment and labour practice in Toronto,” said Blair McCreadie, Managing Partner of Dentons’ Toronto office. “Her cross-border knowledge will allow her to provide our clients with a unique and multifaceted perspective, adding to the overall strength of our team.”
