Karine Fournier is a member of our Labour, Employment and Human Rights practice group. She practices primarily in the areas of labour relations, employment law, occupational health and safety, and protection of personal information in the public, private, and access to information sectors.
In addition to advocating before the various courts, Karine lectures on such subjects as corporate fraud prevention and management, and protection of personal information in the context of daily HR management. She also helps companies bring their practices into compliance with current privacy and personal information legislation, and advises numerous clients on their daily HR and labour relations management.
Karine has also developed particular expertise in defending the rights of non-smokers affected by second-hand tobacco smoke entering their home. She has given a conference and provided legal opinions on this subject, and has advised and represented numerous parties who fear health risks or who have suffered actual prejudice from exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke in their residence. These clients include owners of rental properties, co-owners, syndicates and tenants.
