Clifford Singh
Partner | Employment & Litigation Lawyer
Clifford Singh is a Partner at Achkar Law with a practice centred on employment law, labour law, and corporate and commercial litigation. He advises employers on workplace matters ranging from terminations, dismissals, and layoffs to workplace investigations, policies, and compliance, and he also represents individuals in employment and related disputes.
Clifford brings more than fifteen years and an unusually deep litigation background to that work. He has conducted over 3,000 examinations and hundreds of contested court appearances, along with several hundred mediations and pre-trials. After articling at one of southwestern Ontario’s largest litigation firms, he practised insurance defence and became a leading fraud investigation lawyer, then spent over a decade advocating for injured clients before the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, the Licence Appeal Tribunal, and the Superior Court of Justice.
He is equally comfortable in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. Clifford takes a pragmatic, practical, and client-centred approach, and although he is a determined litigator, he is just as focused on finding creative ways to resolve matters efficiently and keep his clients’ stress, time, and costs to a minimum. He also hosts Achkar Law’s employment law webinars.
Clifford earned his LL.B. from the University of Western Ontario, after
