THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
At Wasserman Business Law, our commitment to fairness, transparency, and a thriving Canadian economy extends beyond our client work, we actively advocate for systems-level change to benefit our clients and our country.
Featured Media Appearances and Advocacy







Rachel Wasserman, our founder, is a bold new voice for a fairer economy. She brings legal expertise, business insight, moral clarity, and practical solutions to shift how power flows in our markets.
Rachel is a Fellow at Social Capital Partners and the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project, where she’s helping to reshape the national conversation on ownership, market power, and economic fairness. Her focus: confronting the rise of financialized ownership and advancing policies that promote fair competition, broaden opportunity, and strengthen long-term economic resilience.
She’s not just working within the system. She’s redefining it for the better. That means challenging outdated structures, rethinking who benefits from our economy, and using the tools of law and business to shift power back toward entrepreneurs, workers, and communities. Rachel brings a rare combination of fluency and principled conviction, rooted in deep experience across law, finance, and business. She understands how incentives drive behaviour, how ownership shapes outcomes, and how legal tools can entrench inequality or drive reform.
She’s not waiting for change. She’s building the next economy, one that is fairer, stronger, and built to last.
Thought Leadership
Whether it’s through public speaking, legal reform efforts, or strategic writing, Rachel remains a dedicated voice for change. This advocacy directly informs how we practice law: with integrity, independence, and a strong sense of purpose.
