More about Neuman Thompson

The firm is in the sweet spot at 45 years old. Old enough to be rooted in experience and wisdom, yet young enough to be nimble, ambitious, and poised for an exciting future. We are a highly collegial team of 13 lawyers, supported by seven dedicated staff members. Our plans are to grow.

We are client-centric, focusing entirely on labour & employment law, share expertise with each other and work as a team. Professional and community involvement is important to us too and includes pro bono, charitable and non-profit work. We are also a collection of runners, basketball players, golfers, parents, piano players, and French-speaking, dog-loving humans. We love grabbing lunch together or relaxing over a cocktail after work. 

We believe our clients are among the best in Western Canada. They trust us with the most interesting and challenging work in our field.
