Employment Litigation

We’re here to solve problems that matter so we can help our clients succeed. A crucial way we do this is by bringing one of the largest and most experienced litigation groups in Western Canada to bear for clients. Our clients benefit from the combined experience of lawyers who have had practiced in civil litigation and employment litigation for decades. And while we have the resources to address whatever may be needed on a file, we also staff our files efficiently. We offer practical employment solutions to employers when they are needed, because our goal is to make the process of employment litigation as uncomplicated as possible.

Practical solutions to complex problems.

We get to know each client, their organizations, and the details behind their employment issues. Our clients can always count on our legal capabilities, as well as our real-world business experience and practicality. We have extensive experience pursuing matters through arbitration or trial and have established a reputation for aggressively and thoroughly pursuing our clients’ interests. We take litigation seriously and work hard to provide clear guidance and sensible solutions.

Our Employment Litigation group is known for its depth and our significant number of senior practitioners. We handle employment litigation no matter the size or complexity, including wrongful dismissal actions, human rights complaints, employment standards complaints, restrictive covenant and wrongful competition actions, class actions, and harassment and discrimination complaints.

Our lawyers represent clients before employment-related regulatory agencies, Labour Relations Boards, Human Rights Tribunals, and all levels of court. We have represented clients in all types of businesses and organizations across a wide range of industries, including construction, energy, retail, grocery, manufacturing, healthcare, education, and all levels of government.

Providing a clear road map to litigation solutions.

We strive to find the most direct course of action that avoids bogging down our clients in unnecessary details. We offer straightforward and efficient guidance in both the prosecution and defence of employment matters.

Our clients can expect hands-on service from respected litigators, as well as some of the best support staff in the business. We strive to provide the exceptional service our clients deserve, while our strategic use of paralegals, litigation support, e-discovery, and document imaging technology allow us to be streamlined and cost-effective.
