Our Services
We can help you take legal action for a full range of issues, including but not limited to:
Severance Package Reviews
If you’ve been let go by your employer, you’ve likely been presented with a severance package. Severance packages include more than how much severance pay you are entitled to receive; they also include clauses where you give up your rights to pursue the employer for any reason. Our employment lawyers can review your severance package to ensure your employer is providing you with what you deserve.
Employment Contract Reviews
Employment agreements can have a significant impact on your legal rights in the future. Your employment agreement can determine how much notice pay you are entitled to, post-employment restrictions, probation periods, compensation, benefits, and more. Before you sign your employment contract, let our employment lawyers review it. It is our job to help you avoid potential difficulties later on.
Termination for Alleged Cause
Have you been terminated for alleged cause? Our employment lawyers can assess your case to determine whether the employer’s allegations could hold up at law. If the employer’s allegations do not hold up, then you would be entitled to pay in lieu of reasonable notice of termination and potentially other damages. Our experienced lawyers can help you receive the termination package you deserve.
Wrongful Dismissal
Employment standards outline your basic minimum entitlements in employment, including basic rights if you are let go. When an employer dismisses you, they must provide reasonable notice of termination. If your employer did not provide sufficient notice for your termination, then they have wrongfully dismissed you. Our lawyers can provide legal advice and guidance as to how you should.
