Every person in Ontario has the right to live, work, and participate in society free from discrimination and harassment. When your dignity, safety, or equality is compromised, you deserve strong legal advocacy that both supports and empowers you.
At Provenance Law, we advocate for individuals whose human rights have been violated under the Ontario Human Rights Code. Whether you’ve been mistreated in the workplace, denied services, or experienced discrimination based on a protected characteristic, we work tirelessly to ensure your voice is heard and your rights are protected.
Our approach is compassionate, strategic, and grounded in a deep understanding of human rights law. We help clients navigate the legal system with confidence and clarity.
