Clear advice for employment and commercial disputes.
Vanguard Law advises employees and employers on workplace issues, and individuals and businesses involved in commercial disputes—clarifying the risks, practical options, and next step when the stakes are high.
How can we help?
Choose the option closest to your situation. You do not need to know the legal name for the problem.
I’m an employee
Get clear advice about dismissal, severance, workplace changes, discrimination, accommodation, compensation, employment contracts, or another workplace concern.
I represent an employer
Get practical advice about employment agreements, terminations, workplace investigations, performance management, accommodation, compensation, and ongoing workplace obligations.
I have a commercial dispute
Get strategic advice about contract disputes, shareholder or partnership conflicts, debt recovery, real-estate disputes, business torts, and other commercial claims.
Move early. Understand the risk. Choose the next step.
Early legal advice can clarify deadlines, preserve important evidence, identify leverage, and prevent avoidable missteps.
Vanguard Law explains the legal and practical options in plain language, looks first for efficient resolutions, and prepares matters carefully when negotiation is no longer enough.

Before you book
What happens during the consultation?
The consultation is a focused discussion about the nature of your matter, its urgency, and whether Vanguard Law may be the right fit. It is not a complete legal opinion or ongoing free legal advice. Completing the intake form and providing the available documents beforehand helps make the conversation more useful.
Is the consultation free?
Free consultations are available for qualifying matters. A paid consultation is recommended when a matter requires more time, context, or advance review of key documents. Whether free or paid, every consultation is lawyer-led and receives the same care. If a paid consultation is recommended, the fee will be shown on the booking page before you choose a time.
Fees for work after the consultation depend on the nature and scope of the services required. Before retaining Vanguard Law, you will receive a written agreement explaining the proposed work and fees, including any applicable taxes or disbursements.
Does Vanguard Law represent both employees and employers?
Yes. Vanguard Law advises employees and employers in separate matters, subject to the required conflict checks. The firm also represents individuals and organizations in commercial disputes, including shareholders, partners, directors, and companies.
Is my information confidential?
Your answers to the online consultation guide remain in your browser and are not sent to Vanguard Law. Information submitted through the secure intake process and discussed during a consultation is handled confidentially, subject to applicable legal obligations and conflict-check requirements.
Using the website or booking a consultation does not by itself create a solicitor-client relationship.
Where does Vanguard Law provide services?
Vanguard Law provides Ontario legal services and offers video consultations. The firm has locations listed in Toronto, St. Catharines, and Oakville. Contact the firm to ask about in-person availability for a particular appointment.
