Presentation Testimonials
  • Bargate Murray Solicitors (London, UK)
    “I very much enjoyed Ronald's professional presentation at the Canada-United Kingdom Chamber of Commerce in London (in June 2011). It was incredibly helpful to hear the views of a respected Canadian employment law expert presenting in a friendly and engaging manner. As a UK employment lawyer with a broad international practice (including an expanding Canadian clientele) it was great to be able to benchmark the broad similarities between English and Canadian Employment law.”
    - Philip Henson LL.B (Hons) FRSA, IoD - Head of Employment Law, Bargate Murray Solicitors (London, UK
