Maurice Dransfel

Director

Maurice was born and raised in northern Germany before immigrating to Canada when he was 16. He worked his way through school, first on the printing press for the Edmonton Sun and then at a plywood factory where he worked two 12-hour rotating day and night shifts every weekend all through law school. Working at these jobs helped him understand the value of a person’s labour and when he started his first office job, he made the decision to become a labour and employment lawyer. Now, a member of the Executive Committee at McLennan Ross, Maurice not only knows the intricacies of labour and employment law, he also knows how to apply it to the real world of business. His extensive experience in management-side labour and employment issues includes wrongful dismissal, terminations, employment standards, privacy matters, and human rights, such as discrimination issues. He has appeared at all levels of court in Alberta.
