Wrongful Dismissal and Termination Without Cause
We advise employees who have been terminated, laid off, or dismissed without cause. Many employees are entitled to significantly more compensation than the minimum amounts offered by employers. We assess entitlement to common law notice, severance pay, and benefits continuation.

Severance Package Review and Negotiation
Employers often offer severance packages that are far below what the law allows. We review severance offers, explain your true entitlements, and negotiate improved severance packages that reflect your age, position, length of service, and compensation.
Constructive Dismissal
If your employer has reduced your pay, changed your role, relocated you, cut your hours, or created a toxic work environment, you may have been constructively dismissed. We assess whether the changes amount to a termination under Ontario law.
Employment Contract Review
We review employment contracts before or after signing, including termination clauses, non competition clauses, non solicitation clauses, bonus language, and limitation of liability provisions. Many termination clauses are unenforceable under Ontario law.
Human Rights and Discrimination
We represent employees facing discrimination, harassment, or reprisal based on protected grounds such as disability, age, gender, pregnancy, family status, or religion. This includes Human Rights Tribunal claims and negotiated resolutions.
Medical Leave and Disability Related Terminations
If you were terminated while on sick leave, medical leave, short term disability, or long term disability, you may have a strong legal claim. Employers often mishandle disability related absences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an employment lawyer if I was offered severance?
Often yes. Severance offers are frequently far below legal entitlements.
How much severance am I entitled to in Ontario?
It depends on multiple factors including age, length of service, position, and compensation, not just ESA minimums.
Is my employment contract enforceable?
Many employment contracts contain invalid termination clauses that can be challenged.
Can I be fired while on sick leave or disability?
In many cases, termination during medical leave is unlawful or gives rise to enhanced damages.
