A graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, Harold Caley was called to the Ontario Bar with Honours in 1972. Harold Caley was given the highest Legal Ability Rating and General Ethical Standards Rating by LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell - AV Preeminent Rated Lawyer; named in the 2013 Lexpert/American Lawyer Guide to the Leading 500 Lawyers in Canada; is regularly listed in "The Best Lawyers in Canada" under Labour and Employment Law; and in L'Expert, a Canadian Legal Directory, as a leading lawyer in labour law, including the construction sector.

We are pleased to advise that the published book by Chambers Canada - Canada's Leading Lawyers for 2016, a publication researched by an Editorial Team and a Research Team, seeking input from clients and lawyers in the particular geographic jurisdiction, selected Harold as the only Senior Statesman on the Trade Union side, in Canada.
The publication defines a Senior Statesman as follows:
"A Senior Statesman is a distinguished older partner - often a name partner - who in their senior years remains a principal point of contact for major clients with major matters. They are deeply admired throughout the profession, although they may be seen less frequently on everyday transactions. Sages of their particular legal markets, their contribution is as valuable as ever."
