About Toronto Employment Lawyer - Ellen Low
Ellen Low is an employment lawyer who knows what it takes to “go the distance”. As a marathon runner and former varsity rugby player, Ellen knows the value of working as a team and that hard work, dedication, and preparation are the keys to success in any endeavor. Ellen applies these principles in providing practical legal advice to employers and employees regarding workplace issues.
Ellen’s interest in employment law was sparked by her own experiences working as an employee and manager, combined with a desire to work with people, an interest in social justice, and a passion for continued learning.
Ellen obtained her law degree from the University of Ottawa. During law school, she received the Ultramar Award for Community Commitment recognizing her contributions to the law review, legal clinic, and various students’ associations. During her final year of law school, Ellen was selected to participate in an international law project in Nairobi, Kenya.
