While Timothy has practiced in the area of Labour & Employment with Taylor McCaffrey since 2018, his clients benefit from his wide range of skills previously developed while working at another law firm and as an in-house counsel for a public sector organization.
Timothy is known as a successful and accomplished litigation counsel. He specializes in civil litigation and administrative law with an emphasis on employment, disability, and labour law. He has conducted all stages of the litigation process including drafting of pleadings, research, documentary and oral discovery, motions, negotiations, dispute resolution, pre-trial conferences, trials, and appeals.
Timothy has represented his clients at all levels of the Courts in Manitoba and the Federal Court of Canada as well as numerous administrative decision makers such as the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba, Manitoba Labour Board, Manitoba Employment Standards Branch, Canada Industrial Relations Board, Grievance Arbitrators, Manitoba Review Board, Manitoba Health Appeals Board and Human Rights Commission.
Given that Timothy has experience representing both defendants/respondents and plaintiffs/claimants, he has insights and a unique overall understanding that other litigators may not have. He leverages his wealth of skill and experience to provide the best possible outcome to his clients, especially in stressful circumstances, and consistently seeks out reasonable and amicable solutions for all parties involved. He focuses on ethical, competent, and transparent representation and building strong relationships with his clients.
Anyone who knows Timothy knows that while his work and his family are incredibly important to him – he will always find time to volunteer and give back to his community. He has spent over 30 years as a mentor for young lawyers and other youth groups, volunteering for mental health, legal, sports and other community organizations, and holding multiple volunteer and board positions in his church.
