Colin Gibson*

Colin Gibson has practiced labour, employment, human rights, and post-secondary education law since his call to the British Columbia bar in 1986.

The majority of Colin’s practice has involved acting for universities, colleges, and institutes in British Columbia’s post-secondary and university sectors. In addition to providing advice and representation on employment, labour relations, human rights, and student issues, he has provided strategic guidance to higher education clients on a variety of complex matters such as governance, policy development, executive compensation, and statutory compliance.

Colin has also advised and represented employers in a wide range of private sector industries. During his career, he has established long relationships with clients by understanding their goals and priorities, and by being diligent, strategic, and responsive. He is highly regarded not only by the firm’s employer clients, but also by board members, union representatives, and other key stakeholders.

Colin was our firm’s Managing Partner from 2015 though 2019.

Colin retired from day-to-day practice in September 2026, but he continues to be active with the firm as a strategic advisor and mentor.
