Services
Municipal Governance
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.
Zoning and Land Use
Navigating the complexities of zoning regulations and land use planning in Ontario requires detailed knowledge and local insight. We offer tailored guidance to ensure that your projects comply with municipal and provincial laws. Aware that real estate and planning disputes form an important portion of commercial litigation, we work with your zoning plans and documents to protect your interests and facilitate a seamless development process.
