Employers in the highly regulated financial services sector are facing a growing number of overlapping legal proceedings stemming from a single workplace incident. A termination or complaint can quickly escalate into parallel human rights, labour relations or civil complaints. In this complimentary webinar, we will examine the rise of multiple proceedings in labour and employment and explore how these layered claims create new risks, legal complexities and strategic challenges for financial services HR and legal teams.
