Louis Todd Century

Louis Century loves litigating for all the right reasons. He is a tenacious advocate for his clients and a strong believer in pursuing social and economic justice in the courts.

First and foremost, Louis is an advocate for workers. He represents employees who have lost their jobs or faced discrimination in the workplace. He also represents large groups of employees seeking unpaid overtime and other compensation in class action lawsuits.

Louis frequently represents individuals seeking accountability for state misconduct. His diverse litigation practice includes Charter claims, class actions, judicial reviews and appeals, professional regulation, defamation claims and injunctions. Louis is on LawPRO’s Preferred Counsel List.

Louis is no stranger at the Supreme Court of Canada. He started his legal career as a law clerk for the Honourable Justice Richard Wagner and returned to the Court to represent the Canadian Labour Congress in a leading case on the rights of non-unionized federal employees.

Intellectual curiosity defines Louis and his practice. He has taught Foundations of Canadian Law to law students at the University of Toronto and regularly takes on cutting edge social issues in the courts. The following are some examples of Louis’ cases in different areas of law:

Since his call to the bar in 2014, Louis has been actively engaged in Toronto’s legal community. He has advocated for equity issues in the profession, serving on the firm’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and publishing on issues such as a minimum wage for articling students (“ The debate about a minimum wage for articling students is an embarrassment to the legal profession ”) and the importance of diversity in the bar (“ Disrupting unspoken notions about who ‘belongs’ at the Supreme Court ”). Louis maintains a passion for the rights of refugees both in his legal practice and his volunteer work, and is proud to have spearheaded Goldblatt Partners’ sponsorship of a refugee family from Syria .
