About Cavalluzzo LLP

Founded in 1983, Cavalluzzo LLP is a law firm distinguished by its commitment to advancing equality and social justice and its provision of excellent legal advice and representation. Cavalluzzo LLP advocates on behalf of working people, Indigenous nations and equity-seeking groups and individuals in Ontario and across Canada.

Our practice is varied – encompassing labour, public, pension, administrative, Charter, health, education, employment law and class actions, as well as professional regulation, inquiries and inquests – but our dedication to superior advocacy is constant. We represent trade unions, professionals and professional associations, non-unionized employees, multi-employer pension and benefit plans, and other organizations and individuals, in both the public and private sector, assisting them with day-to-day legal problems as well as long-term legal and policy strategies.

We believe strongly incombating discrimination in all its forms, promoting solidarity and raising awareness of issues affecting the rights of women, persons of diverse racial, cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds, persons with disabilities and those with different political views and all sexual orientations and gender identities.
