Following his call to the Bar in 1993, Robert McGill opened a General Litigation law practice in London, Ontario, representing individuals with a variety of legal issues including Worker’s Compensation claims. Recognizing the dearth of skilled legal service available to injured workers embroiled in disputes with the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board, advocating on behalf of injured workers gradually became the dominant focus of Rob’s practice. Representing Injured Workers in their ongoing claims before the W.S.I.B., along with associated matters such as Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Disability claims, is now Rob’s sole area of practice.
Rob has argued hundreds of cases at all levels of the Worker’s Compensation appeals regime, including the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal, and is counsel of record in dozens of successful reported W.S.I.A.T. decisions. Rob receives many referrals from lawyers throughout the Province, is a regular presenter at Ontario Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA) Continuing Legal Education seminars educating other lawyers on Worker’s Compensation matters, the Editor of OTLA’s “Basic Guide to Injured Worker’s Legal Rights”, and a recognized leader in the field of Worker’s Compensation advocacy.
