Services
Wrongful Dismissal
Our employment lawyers help clients recover fair severance packages after unjust termination. We handle cases involving inadequate notice, constructive dismissal, and wrongful termination claims. Our team negotiates with employers and pursues legal action when necessary to ensure clients receive their legally mandated compensation. With specialized knowledge of Canadian employment law, we've secured settlements for thousands of workers facing sudden job loss.
Long Term Disability
We assist clients with long-term disability insurance disputes, including claim denials and benefit terminations. Our lawyers work with medical professionals to build strong cases for clients facing conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and mental health disorders. Through strategic appeals and litigation, we've recovered millions in benefits for Canadians struggling with insurance company denials.
CPP Disability
Our specialists guide clients through the CPP disability application and appeal process. We handle complex cases involving chronic illnesses and mental health conditions, preparing thorough applications and representing clients before the Social Security Tribunal. With a 97% success rate, we've recovered over $9 million in retroactive payments for eligible Canadians.
Constructive Dismissal
We represent employees who've been constructively dismissed through intolerable working conditions. Our lawyers help clients understand their rights when facing demotions, salary reductions, or hostile work environments. We negotiate fair severance packages and pursue legal action when employers fail to address workplace grievances appropriately.
Workplace Discrimination
Our team advocates for employees facing discrimination based on protected grounds. We handle cases involving failure to accommodate disabilities, harassment, and unequal treatment. Through strategic negotiations and legal proceedings, we secure fair outcomes for workers whose rights have been violated under Canadian human rights legislation.
