Stuart Rudner

Stuart Rudner

Rudner Law | ONTARIO

At Rudner Law, our approach is simple. We want to understand your circumstances, your concerns, and your goals. We will then ensure that you understand the legal regime along with your rights and obligations. Once that is done, we work with you to design a cost-effective, practical strategy that meets your needs. We want to be your Trusted Advisor.

Stuart Ruder is not one of those lawyers that is ideologically married to one side. While many individuals have their rights trampled on, he has also seen employees take advantage of those same rights to the detriment of their employer.  Stuart realizes that there is good and bad in every group, and believes that being able to advise Employers and Employees makes him a better lawyer than only seeing matters from one perspective.
