Speaker bio(s)
Geoffrey Lowe

Geoffrey Lowe is an employment lawyer who has exclusively practiced employment law since his call to the Bar of Ontario in 2016. Prior to that he worked in human resources, including time spent building and operating a human resources department for a private security firm. Geoffrey has worked with Rudner Law since 2021 - prior to that he worked with Stuart and other members of the Rudner Law team at Rudner MacDonald LLP. He has worked at firms with both an employer and employee focus, enabling him to develop an understanding of each side of the employment equation. He appreciates the importance of work in society and the impact that a disruption in work can have on all parties - employee and employer. His spare time is taken up with weightlifting and chasing his Scottish Terrier, Bean. To his knowledge he remains one of the only lawyers in Ontario whose call to the Bar and wedding ceremony were performed by the same member of the Judiciary, although not at once.
