Employment Contracts
We draft and review employment contracts to ensure that the terms of engagement are clear, fair, and compliant with current employment standards. In a legal landscape where disputes—such as wrongful termination or unfair employment practices—are increasingly common, our detailed consultations help preempt future conflicts. By incorporating best practices and up-to-date legal precedents, we ensure that every contract we create or review protects your interests from the outset.
Workplace Discrimination
We are passionate about fostering fair and inclusive workplaces. Our team pursues legal action against workplace discrimination and harassment, drawing on our deep understanding of Ontario’s human rights landscape. While many discrimination claims face initial procedural hurdles, our commitment is to compile compelling evidence and build a robust case that reflects the true cost—both emotional and economic—of discrimination in the workplace.
Wrongful Termination
If you have been wrongfully terminated or unfairly dismissed, we are here to secure the justice and compensation you deserve. Drawing on precedents such as Wallace v. United Grain Growers and Honda v. Keays, our team carefully examines your employment documentation to ensure fair notice periods and proper severance are enforced. With data indicating that plaintiffs in employment disputes achieve favorable outcomes approximately 50–60% of the time, we leverage our expertise to maximize your chances of success.
