Over the past three decades the lawyers at Victory Square Law Office have represented unions at arbitration, the Labour Relations Board and all levels of court. Victory at Arbitration is a unique legal education seminar specially designed for union representatives and members. The labour law community education event of the season will feature our panel of experienced lawyers presenting educational sessions on a wide range of topics. We hope you are planning to attend Victory at Arbitration 2024.

Victory at Arbitration 2024 is being presented in person on Friday, September 20, 2024. We regret to say that a live stream option will not be offered this year. Join us to participate in this unique learning experience designed to keep clients and friends informed about issues at the forefront of the organized workplace.

The first Victory at Arbitration conference was held in December 2007 and over the years lawyers at Victory Square Law Office have volunteered their time to prepare and present this annual conference. Over the years all proceeds of Victory at Arbitration events have been donated to Partners in the Horn of Africa, West Coast LEAF and CoDevelopment Canada. To date, VSLO has donated more than $247,800 in seminar proceeds. This year, proceeds from the Victory at Arbitration seminar will be donated to West Coast LEAF and CoDevelopment Canada.
