Christine Krueger is a senior employment lawyer and litigator with more than 25 years of advocacy and courtroom experience. She advises and represents employers on a broad range of workplace issues, combining strategic legal insight with practical, business-focused solutions.

Christine regularly represents employers in employment-related disputes, including wrongful dismissal and constructive dismissal claims, human rights applications, breaches of restrictive covenants, workplace investigations, employment standards matters, and performance management disputes. An experienced advocate, she is skilled in both negotiated dispute resolution and litigation, and is prepared to advance her clients' interests through trial when necessary.

In her advisory practice, Christine works closely with employers to develop proactive, effective workplace strategies and documentation. She drafts and reviews executive employment agreements, termination packages, employee handbooks, workplace policies, and a wide range of employment-related contracts. She also provides timely, practical guidance on day-to-day workplace issues and complex employment law challenges.

Known for her strategic mindset and ability to quickly identify the core issues in a dispute, Christine takes the time to understand each client's business, industry, and objectives. This allows her to deliver advice that is not only legally sound, but also practical, efficient, and aligned with the realities of the workplace.

Throughout her career, Christine has dedicated her practice exclusively to advising and representing employers. She spent more than 16 years practicing employment law and commercial litigation at a full-service Toronto law firm before focusing exclusively on employment law in 2016. She subsequently joined leading employment law boutique firms and, in June 2020, worked with Ruben Goulart and a small group of other firm members to establish Goulart Workplace Lawyers.
