ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE

The lawyers at Myers Weinberg LLP provide legal service to clients in most areas of the law. Some legal services are available in additional languages, including French, Italian and Portuguese.

A cornerstone of the firm's practice is labour law, where Myers Weinberg's lawyers represent unions, associations, and their members in all aspects of their dealings with employers, making Myers Weinberg the firm of first choice for most unions and associations in Manitoba. Myers Weinberg hosts an annual 2-day conference, the Mel Myers Labour Conference, which addresses issues of interest to unions. We also provide smaller educational seminars to unions several times a year.

Lawyers in the Aboriginal law department are experienced in representing first nations in a variety of matters including land claims, flood claims, negotiations with government, and developing partnerships with industry for natural resource development.

The business and real estate lawyers in the firm have successfully represented individuals, corporations, businesses of all sizes, and financial institutions in purchases and acquisitions, sales, financing, mortgages and foreclosures. Clients seeking advice on franchising, trademarks and patents often turn to Myers Weinberg because of the firm's highly regarded expertise in these areas.

Lawyers in the litigation department at Myers Weinberg regularly appear in all levels of court and before administrative tribunals, representing clients in law suits, criminal matters, and family law cases. The civil litigation lawyers have extensive experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in civil cases, including personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful dismissal, contract disputes, insurance cases, and child protection. The criminal law department is well known and highly regarded for its lawyers' skilled defence of the rights of persons who are accused of crime. The family law lawyers at the firm are experienced advocates who appreciate the sensitive nature of clients' concerns when dealing with family law matters, both inside and outside of court.
