Ron Franklin is a lawyer and oversees the work of Franklin Law, a social justice-oriented, employment law, human rights law, and labour law firm focused on working with, advising, representing, and training employees and other workers. He has been a worker all of his life, and this simple truth has shaped his experiences, his world view, the work that he does, the clients that he represents, and his decision to follow his heart and open up a law firm committed to fighting injustice at work.
In 2007, Ron was called to the Bar and became a lawyer. He continued as an Associate at Green & Chercover for a year before he accepted a Staff Lawyer position in the Workers’ Rights Division at Parkdale Community Legal Services.
In the summer of 2008, Ron opened Franklin Law and made good on his dream to start a social justice-oriented law firm focused exclusively on protecting workers’ interests. Years later, Ron has remained true to this vision, and is more committed than ever to helping employees and other workers to help themselves. He has represented and worked with an incredibly diverse group of employees and other workers from a variety of backgrounds, workplaces, occupations, and professions, and, in the process, has seen first hand the interplay between their ethno-racial, gender-sexual, and socioeconomic identities and their lived experiences at work. From the outset, access to justice, social justice, the inherent dignity and self-esteem of all human beings, and collaborative lawyering shaped his vision of what a law firm could be, and these considerations remain defining features of the Franklin Law experience to this day.
