Tell us how we can help

A few quick answers will guide you to the appropriate consultation. Extra questions appear only when they apply. Your answers stay in this browser and are not sent to Vanguard Law.

Your legal matter
What do you need help with?

Choose the closest option. We will guide you to the appropriate consultation.

Type of legal matter

Employee — union status
Was your position or working relationship covered by a union or collective agreement?

Your union status helps us direct you to the appropriate consultation option.

Union status
Did your pay statements show union dues, or was there a union representative or grievance process for your workplace?

Employee — what happened
What best describes what happened with your job?

Choose the one option that comes closest. You do not need to know the legal term, and your job or working relationship does not need to have formally ended.

What best describes what happened with your job?

Employee dismissal branch — base pay
What is or was your approximate guaranteed annual base pay?

Enter the amount before tax.

Include guaranteed salary or regular hourly wages. Exclude bonuses, commissions, tips, overtime, equity, and other variable compensation.

Employee dismissal branch — length of service
Approximately how long did you work for this employer or organization?

Choose the closest answer. If you still work there, count from your start date to today.

Approximate length of service

Employee dismissal branch — replacement work
Have you accepted or started another job?

Choose the answer that applies today.

Replacement employment

Employee dismissal branch — termination package
Has your employer offered or provided a termination package?

This includes working notice, termination pay, severance pay, salary continuance, or another combined exit package.

Termination package status

Employee dismissal branch — package comparison
Was the total combined package at least about one month of pay for every full year you worked there?

Consider the whole package, including working notice, termination pay, severance pay, and salary continuance—not only any “enhanced” portion.

Package compared with years worked

This is a booking rule only. It is not a statement of legal entitlement or the value of a claim.
Employer — authority
Are you authorized to seek or arrange legal advice for the organization?

Owners, directors, executives, managers, HR professionals, and people helping an authorized decision-maker may continue.

Authority to arrange legal advice

Employer — type of workplace
Does this matter involve an employee covered by a union or collective agreement?

This helps us direct the organization to the appropriate consultation option.

Union or collective agreement status

Employer — workplace issue
What does the organization need help with?

Select every answer that applies.

Employer employment-law issue

This fit check does not assess the merits of a legal position and does not create a solicitor-client relationship.
Civil dispute — type of dispute
Which best describes the main subject of your matter?

Choose the closest answer.

Primary subject of civil matter

Civil dispute — stage
What stage has the matter reached?

Choose the answer that best describes the matter today.

Stage of civil matter

Civil dispute — hiring counsel
If the matter appears to be a fit, are you prepared to hire private counsel?

Choose the answer that best reflects your position.

Readiness to hire private counsel

Civil dispute — final step
One final confirmation

The introductory consultation is a short fit-and-urgency discussion, not a full legal opinion.
