Overview

Known for being fair, honest, and a great communicator, Anthony Espejo provides strategic and practical advice relating to labour and employment law, human rights law, personal injury, and commercial litigation matters. His sound judgement leads to targeted advice to find the best resolutions while his experience means he avoids wasting time or energy on strategies that aren’t productive.
Clear communication is one of his biggest strengths as an experienced litigator. He works through a problem logically to find the most cost effective and reasonable resolution, but won’t hesitate to take a hard line and fiercely protect a client’s interest when required in mediations, conciliations, pre-trial conferences, judicial dispute resolutions, chambers, arbitrations and trials.
Anthony is a skilled problem-solver who finds solutions by getting to know the details of each client and their unique circumstances. In employment law, he represents both employers and individuals in matters including workplace investigation, termination, reasonable notice, human rights, employment policies and procedures, employee discipline and dismissal, and restrictive covenants. For labour matters, he routinely represents employers in grievance arbitrations and assists managing employment challenges.
His experience with labour & employment, human rights, wrongful dismissals, personal injury, and other litigation allows him to outline possible outcomes at the start to avoid unnecessary surprises for his clients. Anthony is approachable and spends time ensuring his clients are comfortable and feel confident they can call him anytime with questions or to discuss their matter. His focus is to achieve the best result at the most opportune time.
Anthony has appeared on behalf of his clients before the Court of Justice of Alberta, the Alberta Court of King’s Bench and the Alberta Court of Appeal. Anthony works closely with clients to effectively resolve trying matters and manage risk. He takes clients through their options, covering the risks and benefits, and advocating on their behalf.
