Behind every legal issue are people, relationships, and decisions that matter. Theresa never loses sight of that, even when the paperwork seems determined to take centre stage.

Theresa Aanu Olagunju maintains a practice focused on labour and employment law, with experience in civil litigation and administrative law.

Before joining Neuman Thompson, Theresa practiced in Saskatchewan, where she represented and advised clients on a broad range of labour and employment matters, including collective bargaining disputes, grievance arbitration, unfair labour practice complaints, wrongful dismissal, and other workplace disputes. Prior to practicing in Canada, she also gained experience in civil litigation in Nigeria.

Theresa recognizes that effective legal advice requires more than identifying the applicable law. She focuses on understanding the broader circumstances of each matter and developing advice that is both legally sound and responsive to her clients’ objectives. She takes a careful, considered approach to her work and values clear communication, collaboration, and continued learning.
