Expert Legal Advice for Employees
Our Toronto employment lawyers provide timely and practical advice. We understand matters in employment law are often urgent and decisions weigh heavily on clients. Providing prompt advice and being available for clients is critical when legal advice is sought. We pride ourselves on being accessible to clients every step of the way.
Our lawyers focus on integrity. There is a balance that needs to be struck between legal rights and good long term business decisions. Not every case is one that should be litigated. Heeney Lawyers strive to assist clients in identifying the best long-term decision for them, i.e.: advising when litigation may not be their best option. However, where a case requires litigation, our firm has the experience to be exceptional advocates and will go the extra mile for you. We can assist in all areas of employment law including
- Wrongful dismissals
- Constructive dismissals
- Dismissal for just cause
- Warning letters and performance improvement plans
- Severance package review and advice
- Workplace harassment, bullying, sexual harassment and violence;
- Human rights complaints
- Accommodation of disability
- Short-and long-term incentive plans, stock option plans, performance/restricted stock unit plans; and pension plans;
- Restrictive covenants - non-solicitation and non-compete clauses
- Employment contracts and compensation
- Employment Standards including vacation pay and overtime
We offer our employee clients a flat rate initial consultation during which we will determine the facts of your circumstances, provide you with our initial legal opinion and assist in forming a strategy that is most appropriate for you.
We don't provide free legal consultations for a reason. We want you to get objective advice to ensure you take the right path, including sometimes accepting the offer made to you.
If you need legal advice or representation in an employment matter, we are here to help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced employment lawyers.
