About
Ugo Mackenzie
Ugo began her legal career in employment, labor, and human rights law, where she often found herself frustrated by the slow-moving nature of litigation. She gravitated toward workplace investigation because of the greater opportunities for making a decisive difference in the lives of employees and employers and serving as a catalyst for institutional change.
Ugo has a Master of Laws in Alternate Dispute Resolution from Dalhousie University which allows her to help clients who are dealing with complex and often stressful workplace issues and assist them in coming up with a plan to meet their legal obligations while restoring the workplace to a healthier state.
As a trauma-informed investigator, Ugo has addressed complaints in a wide range of work environments, including the public and private sectors as well as universities, hospitals, and medium to small businesses. She is respected for her fair and unbiased approach to interviewing, and her concise, precise, and straightforward report writing.
Her practice encompasses a diverse range of workplace complaints, including complaints of sexual harassment, workplace harassment, discrimination, bullying, violence, loss of respect in the workplace, poisoned work environments, code of conduct violations, reprisal, conflict of interest, theft, and other problematic workplace misconduct.
In her spare time, Ugo enjoys painting, rock climbing, playing lawn tennis, and traveling.
