We represent employees in litigation at the Superior Court of Justice, the Small Claims Court, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, the Ministry of Labour, and the Canada Industrial Relations Board. 

​We only recommend litigation where the realistic potential improvement is worth more than the time, stress, and money involved in litigation.

Unless there is an enforceable termination provision (of which few exist), the goal of litigation for wrongful dismissal is to put you in the same position you would have been had you remained employed during the notice period we are seeking. We start a legal proceeding to obtain the difference between what has been paid to you upon termination and what we believe is still owing to you.

When we sue for constructive dismissal, it means that your employer has fundamentally breached a term of your employment and has not offered to pay you the appropriate severance package. Common instances that amount to constructive dismissal include significant changes to any of the following:

• Your compensation

• Your schedule

• Your position 

• Your responsibilities 

• Your work location 

• The terms of your employment

We start a legal proceeding to obtain the difference between what has been paid to you upon termination and what we believe is still owing to you.

When we sue for breach of contract, it means that your employer has fundamentally breached a term of your employment and has not offered to pay you the appropriate severance package.

Common instances that amount to breach of contract include:

• Your employer terminating your employment before the end of your fixed term employment contract without paying you until the end of the term 

• Your employer failing to pay you your contractual termination entitlements 

• Your employer failing to abide by the terms of your employment 

We start a legal proceeding to obtain the difference between what has been paid to you upon termination and what we believe is still owing to you.

In rare circumstances, employees are sued by their previous employers for breaching non-solicitation, non-competition, confidentiality or intellectual property provisions. We can help you by defending you in the legal proceeding and protecting your rights.

We represent employees who have been discriminated against under the Human Rights Code or the Human Rights Act. We can represent you in civil court or at the human rights tribunal/commission.
