& Biography

Joe is the founder and managing partner of JSB Employment Law. He is an award winning attorney recognized nationally for his accomplishments in employment law and civil litigation.

Prior to establishing JSB Employment Law, Joe worked at a prominent international Tier 1 law firm and then as Legal Counsel to a Fortune 500 company, where he honed his craft as a skilled employment lawyer in Calgary and litigator.

Joe’s passion for employment law and for ensuring justice for employees led him to establish JSB Employment Law, so he could ensure employees are treated fairly and that in the event of job loss you receive all that you are entitled to.
Termination is usually a horrible experience, and Joe's clients have repeatedly noted their appreciation for "his ability to give practical, effective and empathetic legal advice" during a very important time in their lives when their ability to provide for themselves and their families may be unexpectedly and immediately impacted.

Joe regularly reviews severance packages for all levels of employees and executives. He has a high rate of success in having the value of such packages increased to maximize the compensation his clients receive.

Joe’s proven ability to adapt and deal with complex legal issues resulted in him being recognized in the 2022 and 2023 editions of Best Lawyers in Canada in the categories of Employment Law and Civil Litigation. He was also recently selected for membership into the prestigious Lawyers of Distinction organization for his work in Employment Law and Civil Litigation.
