About Sean
Sean believes in the adage measure twice, cut once, particularly when it comes to workplace issues.
Sean takes a pragmatic and steady approach to advising his clients, carefully weighing the possibilities and perspectives before recommending a course of action. Employers and workers looking for thoughtful, attentive counsel will appreciate Sean’s facilitative style using equal parts empathy and humour.
Sean believes many workplace issues can be resolved before the relationship between employer and worker is irreparably damaged. However, at times pragmatic and strong intervention is necessary for a fair outcome to be achieved. This holds true for workers and employers alike. Having practiced exclusively in workplace law during his career, Sean is experienced in all aspects of the practice area, including the analysis and interpretation of employment contracts and shareholder agreements as well as instances of dismissals, discrimination, and unpaid wages.
Sean has appeared as counsel in the British Columbia Provincial Court and Supreme Court, the Alberta Court of King’s Bench and various administrative tribunals, including the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal, Canadian Human Rights Commission, British Columbia Employment Standards Tribunal and WorkSafeBC.
Born into a RCMP family, Sean grew up residing in many cities and towns throughout British Columbia and Alberta. Having lived throughout much of Western Canada, Sean’s heart belongs to the Okanagan valley where he is a proud third-generation resident of Kelowna. Even though Sean’s practice includes clients of all sizes located across Canada, he particularly relishes the opportunity to serve those in his community who also call the Okanagan and British Columbia interior home.
Outside of work, you can find Sean chasing after his two young children at the nearest lake, park or hiking trail or discussing the latest current events, movies, shows and games with friends at one of the Okanagan’s many breweries and wineries.
