Overview

Steven Connors has always had a strong interest in labour and employment law, which allows him to be involved with people on a day-to-day basis, and make a difference in people’s lives. Steve is the Managing Partner of Brownlee LLP.

His primary practice area is labour and employment from a management perspective - including human rights, occupational health and safety, privacy and education - acting as counsel for employers across Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, before all levels of the Courts. Steve also provides comprehensive support for workplace investigations and provides training sessions in relation to workplace policies along with investigations.

In Brownlee’s labour and employment group, the main focus is on providing clients with practical, timely, efficient and cost conscious advice. The strength of Brownlee's team approach is that there is no internal competition. “It means that we are working collaboratively for the best interests of clients,” Steve says. “Our collaborative approach ensures that the lawyer with the best knowledge for a certain file, is the person doing that work.”

Born in Grande Prairie, Steve grew up in rural Alberta and in Edmonton. He attended the University of Alberta, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology in 1989 and a law degree in 1992. He joined Brownlee as an articling student, and was called to the bar in Alberta (1993), Nunavut and the Northwest Territories (2009).
