Employment Law
The relationship between an employer and an employee is a vital one that affects the entire work
environment. At Carters, we have experience in representing both employees and employers with
their diverse range of employment law matters.
Our employment lawyers can assist with negotiating and drafting employment contracts,
preparing workplace policies and procedures, and informing employers of their statutory and
common law duties with respect to their employees. There may also be issues with respect to
accommodation for various employees, and our lawyers are able to educate employers about
their duties in that regard, and can assist in negotiating a result that achieves our clients' goals.
Our employment lawyers can also assist with issues such as wrongful dismissal claims,
negotiating a termination package, human rights complaints, and harassment claims. Our
employment lawyers are knowledgeable about the applicable legislation, including the
Employment Standards Act, 2000, and the Canada Labour Code.
Our firm is committed to providing high-quality service. We take time to explain all the options to
our clients and recommend an appropriate course of action.
