Ascent Employment Law is a boutique law firm focused on employment law, human rights law, and labour law, with offices in Vancouver and Kelowna.
Our mission is to redefine the employment relationship from a model of subordination to one of collaboration. We embrace the use of technology and innovative methods for providing legal services to our clients. The founding partners of Ascent are senior lawyers that have formed excellent relationships within the B.C. employment bar, are respected in the judiciary, and have each built a successful practice based on their strong relationships with clients and other lawyers.
We value courage, honesty, humanity and care, integrity, respect, and professionalism, and our workplace reflects these values. Our employees are encouraged to be creative, challenge the status quo, take accountability, and approach their work with a sense of pride. We will support you, and reward you, for demonstrating these values. We recognize that the work can be challenging and stressful, so we try to balance it out with humour, not taking ourselves too seriously, and practicing compassion.
