Employer Representation in Labour Law

We offer employers services in labour law, labour relations and human resources.

Plūme is driven by a simple objective: to do things differently. We want to use our years of experience in the labour movement and our knowledge of employee motivations to change the old way of doing things.

Why Plūme?

Our goal is to shift paradigms for the benefit of employers.

Labour relations should not be time consuming for our clients. We put energy and know-how into opening lines of communication between employers and their employees – whether in a unionized or non-unionized setting.

We stand out in our ability to communicate with our clients’ workforce. We understand the dynamics between employees and employers, and it is this dynamic that shapes the work environment. We use our expertise to create, restore or maintain a positive atmosphere in the workforce.

Our team

Lina Aristeo, LL.B.

Lawyer

Me Aristeo has been involved in all levels of the labor movement, both in Canada and in the United States, before founding Plūme. As VP of an international union, VP in the FTQ board and executive VP of one of the largest unions in the private sector, she has been exposed to all facets of the Canadian and American labor movement.

Over a ten-year period at the helm of a Quebec union, she also served as co-president of several insurance and pension funds, led the negotiation of industrial collective agreements and ended a culture of strike that prevailed among union members.

Since leaving the labour movement in 2012, Me Aristeo has now focused exclusively on employers. Her practice focuses primarily on labor relations, but she also has a strong track record in employment and labour law. Her direct and transparent approach benefits SMEs and large companies, both public and private, in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia and the United States.

As an employer representative, Me Aristeo keeps the legal obligations of her clients well in sight without ever forgetting their rights. When developing and executing a strategy, she always does so with the objective of maintaining or creating harmonious working relationships.

Hanna El Fishawy

Hanna El Fishawy

Lawyer

Member of the Quebec Bar, Hanna completed her law degree at the University of Ottawa. She joined our team in 2022.

While completing her articling in business law, Hanna quickly became aware of the issues that companies, both big and small, face on a daily basis in regard to the management of their employees and the conflictual relationship that sometimes results from it. She therefore decided to devote herself to labour and employment law and to focus her practice on providing legal support to employers.

In her practice, Hanna advises and represents her clients in various aspects of employment law, including dismissals and drafting employment contracts and policies. Hanna is meticulous and strives to understand her clients’ needs while ensuring that the appropriate strategies are defined to properly achieve their goals. Hanna ensures that her clients understand their situation, guides them in making well thought out decisions and assists them in their legal proceedings when necessary.
