Our lawyers can help you with:
Wrongful Dismissal
An employee is wrongfully dismissed if terminated without cause and without proper notice or compensation. Whether wrongful dismissal has occurred will depend on a variety of factors including the terms of the employment contract, the specific facts surrounding the dismissal, and the applicable legislation.
Commercial Business Disputes
Commercial disputes can be devastating to the operations and bottom line of a business. Many significant legal ramifications can also arise from these disputes. We can serve to protect your legal interests if you are in a contract dispute.
Labour Arbitrations
It may be possible to avoid Court by choosing to have the employment dispute resolved by an arbitrator rather than a Judge.
Collective Bargaining
Collective bargaining is a process of negotiation between employers and a group of employees aimed at fostering agreements related to compensation, hours, working conditions, benefits, pensions, health and safety, dismissal, and other factors.
Employment Contracts
It is advisable to have a lawyer draft an employment contract that is consistent with your interests, or to have a lawyer review a contract that a prospective employer may be proposing to you. Employment contracts presented to you may have hidden clauses that are against your best interests.
Human Rights Complaints
You have a valid human rights violation claim against your employer if you are discriminated against because of your race, age, colour, political belief, religion, gender, or other discriminatory factor.
