Employment Law

The modern workplace is multifaceted and complex. Employers face significant issues with respect to employment including disability issues and human rights concerns. At Barriston, we understand these requirements and assist both employers and employees with the tools to address issues and disputes within the workplace.

We provide expert legal advice and representation in many areas of employment law, including wrongful dismissal, human rights, employment contracts, and employment standards.

Our litigation team can assist in the resolution of employment disputes, provide guidance in the termination of the employment relationship and, if necessary, representation in the courts or before federal and provincial administrative boards.

Our lawyers can further provide assistance to employers on how to minimize the risks of potential wrongful dismissal suits. This includes front-end advice on how companies should structure employment and contractor agreements.

Our team will provide you with dedicated representation combined with practical and results-oriented advice. Our expert knowledge, extensive experience, and keen appreciation of the economic and business pressures facing our clients, have allowed us to successfully represent both employees and employers in their cases.
