Brian is a management-side labour and employment lawyer in Fasken’s Toronto office. Brian is counsel to and a Board member of the Canadian Employers Council (CEC). The CEC was the official "voice" of Canadian business until 2023, on the international stage, including at the ILO, in respect of the world of work. He is also counsel to the Federally Regulated Employers - Transportation and Communications (FETCO). FETCO is the principal organization representing the interests of federally-regulated employers, including its interactions with the Canadian Government. Brian advises Canadian businesses (operating both inside and outside of Canada), on how best to manage the risk of human rights impacts in their operations and activities, including supply chains, as well as guiding them on corporate reporting obligations under Canada’s new Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act.
