Harris is pleased to announce that Alyssa Paez has joined the firm as an associate.
Alyssa began working at Harris in 2017 as an articled student. Prior to joining Harris, Alyssa worked as a Review Officer (Student Intern) at WorkSafeBC. During law school, Alyssa volunteered as a legal intern for Battered Women Support Services and was the coordinator for a mentorship program for the Allard School of Law’s Centre for Feminist Legal Studies. She also completed the Judicial Externship Program, where she was an intern to judges of the Provincial Court of British Columbia.
Alyssa advises clients on employment issues including wrongful dismissals and employment contracts, and has appeared before the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia. She has also assisted employers in resolving labour disputes in unionized environments.
We look forward to the many contributions Alyssa will make to our practice. Welcome Alyssa!
