We take pride in tackling complex legal issues creatively, intelligently and assertively. We look for solutions first, before litigating.
Great advocacy requires persuasiveness and strategic thinking. However, it also requires strong technical skills, such as clear writing, a deep knowledge of the law and an ability to navigate rules of procedure. By focusing exclusively on commercial litigation and employment law, we continually master our craft.
At the core of our practice is the belief that lawyers, above all else, must deliver value to clients. We do so by offering excellent legal services, providing competitive and flexible fee structures, leveraging technology at every turn, and always keeping an open line of communication.

In Ontario, an employer is legally entitled to terminate the employment of its employee for ‘just cause’. If an employee is terminated for cause, the employer is not obligated to pay the employee statutory termination or severance pay under the Employment Standards Act or any pay in lieu of notice under the common law. Essentially, an employee who is terminated for just cause is not entitled to any notice.
