Employment Law
Wrongful Dismissal
Our lawyers provide practical, cost effective, results-oriented advice to employees and employers facing workplace difficulties. Every workplace is unique and many situations have to be handled with the knowledge, tact, and sensitivity that we can provide. Where formal representation is required, we look after your interests in mediation, arbitration, and at all levels of court and in front of a variety of different Tribunals, including the Employment Standards Branch, the Employment Insurance Board of Referees, the Human Rights Tribunal, and WorkSafe BC discrimination adjudications.
For employees, we provide realistic assessments, pragmatic advice, and dynamic representation. We listen to your concerns and goals to help you determine the right way for you to proceed. We represent people at all stages of the employment relationship – when you are considering accepting a job offer, during disciplinary proceedings and other challenging work situations, and after termination. If you have been terminated from your job, we can help you obtain fair severance terms, and in many cases can help you structure a severance package to best meet your individual needs.
For employers, we advise upon and draft employment contracts, office policies, and all manner of workplace communications including those involving disciplinary processes, layoffs, and termination packages. We can help you manage your human resources on an ongoing basis to improve communication and productivity and reduce workplace conflicts and the risks and expenses they cause.
