When a senior employee or a member of upper management faces dismissal, it is imperative for them to know their rights and be able to negotiate effectively with their former employer. Oftentimes, dismissed employees seek to avoid lengthy disputes and costly litigation, which is why we offer strategic and practical advice at the earliest stages, starting with the drafting and review of written communications. When proceedings before the courts become necessary, we advise and represent our clients with competence and vigour to ensure that their rights are respected.

We are also often called on to advise employers and employees regarding the validity of non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality clauses. We have a team ready to challenge or launch injunctive proceedings in relation to the application of such clauses (see our expertise).
