For Employers

Our lawyers provide sound and practical advice on each stage of the employment relationship.

We draft employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, intellectual property agreements, non-solicitation and/or non-competition agreements and advise employers on when each agreement may be appropriate. We assist many of our business clients with strategies for retaining employees and drafting policies for the proper management of their staff. We will provide guidance on effective and efficient termination of employees and represent our clients in any legal proceedings brought by employees who are dissatisfied with the terms of their termination.

We advise clients on employment matters arising out of federal and provincial statutes such as occupational health and safety matters and on employment issues arising out of the purchase and sale of a business.

We work with our clients so that each employee is hired in a manner that gives the employment relationship the best chance of success, but also lays the foundation for an orderly ending if the relationship does not work out.

For Employees

Our lawyers provide sound and practical advice on each stage of the employment relationship.

We provide advice to employees regarding employment contracts and restrictive covenants that they have been asked to sign. We provide counsel to employees on a wide spectrum of workplace difficulties that they may experience during the course of their employment. We also assist employees who have been terminated or who have had their position, compensation or duties changed by their employer.

In each of these circumstances our focus is giving our clients the information and advice they need to make informed, timely decisions about the future of their careers.
