Rosellen Sullivan, KC: Workplace Investigation Practice to Address Rising Demand for Workplace Investigations in Canada

St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, May 28, 2026. Rising workplace harassment and misconduct are dominating discussions nationwide, while Canada faces a shortage of qualified independent investigators. In response, award-winning criminal defence lawyer Rosellen Sullivan is expanding her practice to focus on workplace and institutional investigations.

Sullivan brings two decades of experience with a distinguished legal career that includes appearances at all levels of court, including the Supreme Court of Canada. This combination of legal rigour and investigative expertise is valuable to today’s most pressing workplace challenges.

This shift reflects broader changes in Canada’s legal and workplace landscape, where employers are under increasing pressure to proactively and transparently address harassment.

“Workplace issues are no longer just a human resource matter, they are legal, cultural, and reputational risks,” says Sullivan. “Organizations need approaches that are both legally sound and sensitive to the lived experiences of those involved.”
