Specialized Legal Services

We focus on one area of law to ensure we provide the highest quality of service. Our practice areas include:

• Wrongful Dismissal: We help employees challenge termination without cause and ensure they receive fair notice and compensation.
• Severance Package Reviews: Never sign a release without legal advice. We analyze severance offers to ensure you are not leaving money on the table.
• Constructive Dismissal: If your employer has fundamentally changed the terms of your employment, we can help you treat the contract as terminated and seek damages.
• Human Rights & Discrimination: Advocating for individuals who have faced discrimination based on age, gender, disability, or race in the workplace.
• Employment Contracts: Drafting and reviewing executive contracts to prevent future disputes.
