Overview

As a management-side employment lawyer, Talia Bregman understands that people are among an organization's most valuable resources. She works closely with boards of directors, in-house counsel and human resource professionals to effectively manage this essential resource through timely, tailored advice with a focus on practical solutions.

Talia’s practice spans the full spectrum of the employment relationship for both federally and provincially regulated employers across industries, from drafting employment agreements and workplace policies to negotiating termination packages and guiding clients through workforce reductions. At every stage, Talia takes care to understand each client’s unique circumstances, delivering pragmatic advice aligned with their business goals.

Talia also plays a key role in complex corporate transactions, restructurings and insolvencies, offering strategic guidance to business owners and legal teams on a wide range of employment-related issues. Her expertise include drafting and negotiating purchase agreements, restrictive covenant agreements, executive employment agreements and retention arrangements. Her guidance continues post-transaction, helping clients successfully integrate workforces and navigate transitional matters.

Talia began her legal career at Bennett Jones as a summer student, then articling student and has since advanced to partner. She is also a registered notary public and completed the Business Leadership for Women Lawyers course through the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto.
