Tyler represents unions, professional associations, civil society organizations, and employees across all sectors. He works primarily in the areas of Labour Law, Health Law, Charter /Constitutional Law, Human Rights, and Professional Regulation/Discipline.

Owing to the broad nature of his practice, Tyler provides oral and written advocacy in a variety of forums including private arbitration, labour boards, human rights tribunals, and the courts. He has appeared before every level of court in Ontario, as well as the Supreme Court of Canada.

Tyler also provides strategic advice to institutional clients as needed, who call on him for practical and pragmatic solutions to matters ranging from litigation strategy and collective agreement disputes to union governance to election-related advertising. Tyler is pleased to consult on any issue affecting a union or professional association and its members. He likewise assists these parties in judicial review proceedings and appeals before the courts.

He provides intersectional representation in this respect, ensuring that his clients’ legal interests are protected across all forums and in all capacities.
