Lawyer

Mikaela Cheslock practices in the areas of labour, employment, and human rights law in the firm’s Kingston office. Prior to joining the firm, Mikaela articled at a union-side labour law firm and worked for a prominent healthcare union.

Mikaela’s longstanding passion for advocacy and workers’ rights has led her to become involved with numerous advocacy groups over the years. Mikaela worked with the Sudbury Workers Education and Advocacy Centre to support low-wage, student, and injured workers through advocacy and education. Recognizing the need for stronger campus-based support, she founded the Laurentian University Student Workers Advocacy Group to empower student workers and equip them with the knowledge of their workplace rights. She also completed an internship with the South African Society for Labour Law – Pro Bono, where she assisted in representing workers before the Labour Court.

Outside of the office, Mikaela enjoys reading, spoiling her cat, and a good game of curling with friends.
