With the dramatic rise in mental health claims since the beginning of the pandemic and the serious challenge mental illness poses for employers, Canadian Lawyer will host a handful of employment law experts to discuss legally compliant management of workplace mental health issues.

Panellists include Lisa Goodfellow, partner at Miller Thomson LLP; Jonathan L. Dye, partner at Filion Wakely, Thorup, Angeletti LLP; Jennifer Mathers McHenry, founding partner at Mathers McHenry & Co; and Anne Gallop, partner, Norton Rose Fulbright.
