Alexa Cheung

Alexa is an associate at Whitten & Lublin, exclusively practicing employment law. She recognizes that workplace issues can arise for anyone, creating some of life’s most stressful moments. She is driven by the opportunity to guide clients through these periods, ensuring their rights are protected while helping them achieve practical, meaningful outcomes. As she puts it, “There is a deep sense of purpose in helping clients regain a sense of control when things feel uncertain.”

Originally from Hong Kong, Alexa is fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese. Her language skills and cultural perspective allow her to connect with a diverse range of clients, particularly in matters involving workplace dynamics, discrimination, and cultural fit.

Alexa is known for being thoughtful, empathetic, and pragmatic. She takes the time to understand each client’s unique circumstances and communicates in clear, plain language, breaking down complex legal issues into practical advice. Responsive, detail-oriented, and highly organized, she ensures clients feel informed and supported, so they are never left wondering where things stand. Her client-centric focus means she tailors her strategy to align with each client’s individual goals and what “success” looks like for them.

While Alexa practices all aspects of employment law including wrongful dismissal, severance, employment contracts and constructive dismissal, her practice includes a strong interest in the human rights aspects of employment law, including discrimination, harassment, and workplace accommodation. She is passionate about addressing human rights issues in a way that is both principled and pragmatic, translating broader social justice concerns into real, tangible workplace outcomes for her clients.

Alexa is a member of the Federation of Asian Canadian Lawyers (FACL) and the Group of Racialized (Ontario) Women Litigators (GROWL)

Outside of work, Alexa is a self-described foodie who enjoys trying new recipes and restaurants. She is also a huge fan of musical theatre and live entertainment.
