Employment lawyers who move first.
Workplace issues reward early strategy. Vanguard Law helps Ontario employees and employers understand the risks, protect their position, and move decisively - whether the issue is a severance package, termination, workplace complaint, investigation, or wrongful dismissal claim.
For Employees
-
Wrongful Dismissal Litigation
Fired without proper notice? Pushed out through sudden changes, demotions, pay cuts, or a toxic workplace? Vanguard Law helps Ontario employees assess wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, human rights, and workplace reprisal claims - then builds a strategy to pursue fair compensation through negotiation or litigation when needed.
-
Severance Package Review
Received a severance offer? Do not sign before knowing what it may really be worth. Vanguard Law reviews termination letters, employment contracts, release terms, bonuses, commissions, benefits, restrictive covenants, and notice entitlements so employees can understand their rights and negotiate from a position of strength.
-
Long Term Disability Denial
Denied long-term disability benefits? A denied LTD claim can put your income, health, and stability at risk. Vanguard Law helps employees challenge LTD denials by reviewing insurer letters, policy language, medical evidence, appeal deadlines, and bad-faith conduct, then pursuing the disability benefits and compensation available under the law.
For Employers
-
Termination Advice
Planning a termination? Terminations are legal decisions, not just HR decisions. Vanguard Law helps Ontario employers plan dismissals, assess severance exposure, review employment contracts, manage human rights and reprisal risks, and avoid mistakes that can turn workplace decisions into wrongful dismissal claims.
-
Workplace Investigations
Facing a workplace complaint? Workplace complaints require a fair, organized, and defensible process. Vanguard Law helps employers respond to allegations involving harassment, discrimination, bullying, misconduct, reprisals, and toxic workplace concerns by guiding investigation strategy, documentation, procedural fairness, and risk management from the start.
-
Wrongful Dismissal Defence
Defending a wrongful dismissal claim? Employers need a clear strategy early. Vanguard Law helps businesses assess liability, respond to demand letters, review termination documents, manage settlement negotiations, and defend claims through litigation where a practical resolution is not possible.

FAQs
-
Every case is different, so there isn’t one exact timeline. If we can settle your dispute through talks, most clients see results in about 4–6 months. If we need to start a lawsuit in an Ontario court, the process can take 12–18 months or longer, depending on court dates and how the other side responds. Once we review the facts, your lawyer will give you a clear, step-by-step timeline and keep you updated in writing at every stage.
-
Our lawyers have handled countless files for wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, executive compensation packages, severance pay, workplace harassment, and long term disability denial claims. Because we work on these problems daily, we spot risks fast and build strong strategies that get results.
-
From your first email or phone call, your details are kept strictly confidential. We store all files in secure, encrypted systems, and only the lawyers and staff working on your case can open them. We will never contact anyone about your case. In short, when you hire our firm, your conversations, documents, and strategy stay between you and your lawyer.

Serious employment problems often come with big life changes. If you win or settle a significant case, that money may be one of the largest assets you ever receive and it deserves a proper plan. That’s why we also make the “after” work simple and predictable. Through province-wide virtual meetings, Vanguard delivers lawyer-drafted Wills and Powers of Attorney tailored to your family and assets, with clear signing instructions you can follow at home.
