Patrizia Piccolo

BA, LL.B | Lawyer

Patrizia has spent nearly three decades helping employers turn complicated workplace problems into clear, workable plans.

Patrizia (pronounced "Patricia" — just forget about the Z) knew from an early age that she wanted to be a lawyer, and her knack for public speaking and sharp memory for case law carried her through undergrad and law school.

Patrizia completed her  LL.B. at Osgoode Hall Law School and she holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree (with Distinction)  from the University of Toronto.  Since her call to the bar in 1998, her practice has focused exclusively on employment and labour law and has covered all aspects of the employment relationship: hiring, performance management, accommodation, workplace restructuring, termination, and post-employment obligations, with particular expertise guiding workplaces through investigations. Today, as partner and co-founder of Piccolo Heath, she works closely with clients of all sizes to navigate tricky employment issues in a strategic, practical way.

What sets Patrizia apart is how she gets clients to a decision. She lays out a clear set of options and guidance on choosing the one that best suits their situation, so clients leave every conversation knowing exactly what to do next.

A recipient of the Thomson Reuters Stand-Out Lawyer award, Patrizia is active with the Law Society of Ontario and the HRPA, and speaks and writes regularly on employment law topics.

Outside the office, Patrizia treasures her roles as a wife, a mother of two sons, now 20 and 22, and is a dog mom to a rambunctious (but cute) Lab.
