Roper Greyell Employment and Labour Lawyers

Mike provides strategic advice and legal representation to a broad range of businesses in the public and private sectors. He is considered an integral part of these enterprises and works hard to ensure that they, and their management teams, are successful and well supported.

Mike represents employers in all aspects of employment and labour law and frequently appears in court, at the Labour Relations Board, at arbitration hearings and at the Human Rights Tribunal. Mike has also been appointed many times as the employer nominee on three person arbitration panels.

Mike’s practice style enables him to effectively address issues before they become formal disputes, and to resolve disputes in a satisfactory, private, and cost-effective manner. He has developed particular experience in the areas of human rights law and attendance management and regularly provides seminars and workshops in these areas to organizations, human resources professionals, and other lawyers.

Mike had a long and varied background before entering law. He has been, at times, a fishing guide, a mill worker, a biologist, a psychologist, a human resources officer, and an opera singer (among others).

Mike and his wife Laura have two young children and are currently enjoying soccer and gymnastics together. Mike also enjoys hockey, theatre, fishing, skiing, song-writing and adventure travel.
