Erin Sobat helps trade unions, associations, and individual workers to pursue justice at work. He advises on all aspects of the employment and collective bargaining relationships and acts on cases before arbitrators, tribunals, and the courts. He also represents unions and workers in Workplace Safety and Insurance Board claims and appeals.
With a background in the student union movement, Erin believes in the power of collective action to address social and economic inequities.

Erin was a summer and articling student at the firm as well as a caseworker at Parkdale Community Legal Services, where he helped low-wage and precarious workers to fight for their rights and also served as a union steward. Prior to returning to the firm, Erin completed a judicial clerkship at the Court of Appeal for Ontario, where he assisted judges with appeals in all areas of law.
