This strategic expansion strengthens the firm’s leadership team and reflects its commitment to delivering comprehensive and effective legal services in employment, labour, human rights, and workplace dispute matters.
Both Hernandez and Jones bring extensive experience and depth to Bow River Law’s practice areas. With this advancement, the firm reinforces its capacity to represent clients in wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, contract disputes, discrimination and harassment claims, severance negotiations, workplace investigations, and labour law issues. The firm continues to serve employees and employers with a focus on practical advice, thoughtful risk management and effective litigation when needed.
Michael Hernandez has been a valued member of the Bow River Law team since late 2022 and has built a strong reputation for his client-focused approach. He practices in employment law, labour law, human rights and civil litigation. Hernandez represents clients at all stages of their careers, from entry-level employees to senior executives, and has appeared before the Court of King’s Bench, the Alberta Court of Justice, the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal and the Alberta Labour Relations Board. Known for strategic thinking and practical resolutions, he has negotiated numerous high-value settlements and advocates vigorously when litigation is necessary.
With more than a decade of legal experience, Chris Jones has established himself as an effective employment lawyer with significant litigation expertise. His practice encompasses employment law, labour law and human rights disputes. Jones has represented clients before all levels of court in Alberta, as well as before regulatory and administrative tribunals and during alternative dispute resolution proceedings. His background in commercial litigation enhances the firm’s capacity to handle complex workplace issues and deliver results for clients.
The addition of Hernandez and Jones to the partnership aligns with Bow River Law’s commitment to delivering high-quality legal services covering a full spectrum of workplace legal concerns, including constructive dismissal, wrongful dismissal, independent contractor classification and non-competition and non-solicitation matters.
