Employment
To paraphrase the Supreme Court of Canada, work is one of the most fundamental aspects in a person’s life, providing an essential component of a person’s identity, self-worth, and emotional well-being. It’s no wonder then that issues arising in the modern workplace are often complex and fraught with challenges of a legal and inherently personal nature.
At Pink Larkin, we understand that navigating issues related to work is never easy. Our lawyers bring collective experience, knowledge, and skills to our employment law practice, helping our clients resolve workplace disputes efficiently and effectively. Pink Larkin regularly works with individual employees and employers across a wide array of legal and practical workplace matters. We offer clients a dedicated, purposeful, and pragmatic approach to any employment issues that may arise, with a focus on delivering outcomes that protect and enhance their interests.
As part of our Labour & Employment practice area, our lawyers deeply understand the significant and complicated issues that modern workplaces face. Pink Larkin’s employment lawyers support our clients in reviewing and advising on a wide variety of employment-related matters, including provincial and federal employment standards, employment contracts (drafting and interpretation), employment termination procedures and negotiations, severance packages and termination arrangements, workplace investigations, human rights, harassment, and wrongful dismissal claims. We also frequently support clients in developing and implementing effective workplace policies and in navigating matters related to privacy and confidentiality, as well as matters concerning pension and benefits, insurance and disability, Occupational Health and Safety, and Workers’ Compensation. Our lawyers have represented employers and employees before provincial and federal employment Boards and other Tribunals, and in Courts throughout Canada.
When conflict arises, our lawyers are skilled in using alternative dispute resolution tactics, including coaching, mediation, and arbitration, to get to the heart of a matter and find a solution. But where litigation or other legal intervention is required, we do not hesitate to advocate for our clients, and ensure their interests are fully protected and their rights enforced.
