While Veronica enjoys the challenge and intensity of Court and hearing work, she recognizes that a litigated outcome is not typically the preferred outcome for her clients. With that in mind, she encourages Employers to involve her as a business partner, to consult with her sooner rather than later and to take a strategic and preventative, rather than reactive, approach. Veronica’s in-depth and sophisticated understanding of the laws applicable to the workplace, the complex dynamic of workplace relationships and her extensive knowledge of related human resource matters enables her clients to enjoy a productive long term working relationship - with her and their employees.
