Employment Law
On shifting ground, we help clients find their footing.
The landscape of employment law is constantly changing with new issues surfacing regularly. It’s why hiring a team with extensive experience acting for both employees and employers is a critical asset to our clients.
We help employers navigate this challenging field, and ensure they are protected into the future. From drafting comprehensive employment agreements to understanding new developments in the law and providing ongoing guidance and support, we help our clients address problems before they happen.
We are also adept at representing employees. Whether it is reviewing severance packages or negotiating and litigating larger wrongful dismissal severances, we are experienced in helping employees understand the law and receive what they are owed.
We pride ourselves on finding the best outcome in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Court proceedings are something in which we are well-versed, but we understand they are not always best suited to achieve effective and timely results for our clients. We look at each issue on a case-by-case basis to ensure we determine the right course of action.
We can guide you through all areas of employment law, including the following:
Executive and non-executive employment agreements
Wrongful dismissal disputes
Employment agreements, handbooks and policies
Non-compete, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenant agreements
Termination letters and severance agreements
Wrongful termination, constructive dismissal, unjust dismissal and layoffs
Compliance with employment legislation and statutory requirements
Employment litigation, mediation, tribunals and hearings
Human rights complaints and discrimination claims
Parental leave and sick leave
Occupational health and safety matters
