The workplace is an important part of our lives. It's where we spend the majority of our waking hours. When something goes wrong at work, it's vital to know how to deal with it before it spills over into other parts of our lives.

Know Your Rights. Assert Your Rights.
As part of our employment law services, our lawyer provides:
- Counsel for employers: We can help you understand your rights and obligations in many areas, including appropriate procedure when terminating an employee, determining adequate notice periods and determining just cause. With our help, you can avoid liability for costly lawsuits.
- Education for employees: Our firm can help you understand your rights and options in a number of areas. We can examine your employment contract, particularly non-competition and non-solicitation clauses. We will help you understand your workplace rights, particularly in terms of health and safety, job stability, just cause and wrongful termination. We will discuss what you must do if you are considering resigning. If you have been fired, we can help you evaluate your situation and your severance package, and decide whether you have a case worth pursuing.
- Representation in disputes: Through mediation or litigation we assist both sides in disputes, which often have to do with termination. We help achieve fair settlements that take into account an employee's salary, experience, length of service, as well as the employer's needs.
- Organizational analysis: We help employers in Ottawa, Gatineau and nearby regions analyze their own workplaces, identifying strengths and weaknesses on a global level rather than simply focusing on individuals. This work helps protect businesses from liability, saving them time and money.
