ONTARIO EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS

Vanguard Law fights employers who fire staff without just cause or fair notice – or make work intolerable through toxic conditions, sudden demotions, or cuts to pay and duties. We draft powerful demand letters, file detailed Statements of Claim in the Superior Court of Justice, and pursue common-law notice, ESA breaches, benefit and bonus claims, and moral damages. We also act where speaking up led to punishment, including OHSA and Human Rights reprisals, whistleblower retaliation, and subtle forms of workplace retaliation. Our approach is clear: assertive negotiation first, and strategic litigation when employers refuse to make it right.

Before you sign anything, let Vanguard Law’s severance pay lawyers dissect every clause and hidden condition in your package. We calculate full common-law termination entitlements, unused vacation pay, benefits continuance, outstanding commissions, stock awards, and bonus payouts – often exposing how far short employer offers really fall. Whether your goal is a fast settlement or strategic tax planning, our employment-law team leverages precedent-setting decisions to pressure HR and corporate counsel until you receive every dollar the law allows.

Before you give up on your benefits or force yourself back to work against medical advice, let Vanguard Law’s personal injury lawyers dissect your denial letter and policy fine print. We challenge “paper reviews,” cherry-picked medical notes, and “not disabled enough” arguments by coordinating detailed medical and occupational evidence. Our team negotiates from a litigation-ready position, using case law to push for lump-sum settlements and bad-faith damages - so you recover the income protection you paid for.

Before your next hire signs on the dotted line, let Vanguard Law tune up your employment contracts so they actually protect the business. We draft and update Ontario-compliant agreements with enforceable termination clauses, clear duties and compensation. Our lawyers build role-specific templates, align contracts with your policies and flag misclassification and ESA risks before they turn into claims. The result: cleaner onboarding, fewer disputes, and contracts that give owners real protection when the relationship changes or ends.

Vanguard Law helps Ontario employers run defensible workplace investigations that meet legal and policy obligations. We assess the complaint, set clear investigation terms, review documents, and interview witnesses before delivering concise, evidence-based findings and recommendations. Whether we act as an independent external investigator or guide your HR team through an internal process, our focus is simple: a fair, timely investigation that protects participants.

Vanguard Law helps Ontario owners choose and set up the right corporation - whether you need a numbered company, named corporation, or professional corporation. We design practical share structures, prepare articles and bylaws, organize your minute book, and put shareholder or founder agreements in place before problems start. The result is a clean, compliant corporate structure that protects you, is ready for growth, and plays nicely with future investors, lenders, and employees.
