Allow us to introduce ourselves
We are an innovative, forward-thinking HR law firm and workplace training centre based in the Port Credit area of Mississauga. The Bernardi Centre, our workplace training business, offers training programs and services that help create positive, respectful and psychologically safe workplaces.
