Lawson Lundell is pleased to announce that Robert Sider, head of the Labour, Employment and Human Rights Group at Lawson Lundell, has been appointed Queen's Counsel (QC) for 2020. The Queen's Counsel designation recognizes lawyers with exceptional contributions to the legal profession and public life. Rob is one of just 26 recipients for 2020 in British Columbia and there are only 490 QCs out of approximately 13,125 practising members of the bar in British Columbia.

Since his admission to the bar in 1991, Rob has made significant contributions to the British Columbia legal industry and to our firm. Rob's practice focuses on management-side labour and employment law. He advises on labour and employment aspects of commercial transactions and day-to-day labour and employment issues.
