Employers Services for We are employment lawyers, advising on the full array of legal issues arising out of the messiness of the workplace.

Employment law is inherently about human relationships. We advise on the legal issues, only after understanding the human dynamic. Sometimes the issue is a matter of straight contractual interpretation, but more often than not, it’s because two people have clashed, competed, or fell in love (and then probably out of love).

We advise employers of all sizes, from global companies with operations in Canada to local business owners and start-ups. We also have individual executive clients. Advising on both sides of the employment relationship keeps us fully aware of what is likely motivating the other party.

Businesses want budget certainty, value and focused expertise. We only do employment law and offer many of our legal services on a flat fee option. Our aim is to keep you up-to-date and to apply a pro-active approach to workplace law that mitigates your legal risks before they blow up into a disruptive workplace crisis or worse, litigation.
