Employees in Ontario often face stressful, time-sensitive decisions following a termination, severance offer, constructive dismissal, or ongoing workplace conflict. In many cases, employers move quickly and employees are asked to accept offers or sign documents before fully understanding their legal rights and entitlements.
Obtaining legal advice at the earliest stage can be critical to protecting your income, benefits, reputation, and long-term career prospects. An experienced employment lawyer can assess whether a termination was lawful, determine if a severance package is fair, and identify potential claims under both Employment Standards Act and the Common Law.
Utkarsh Tewari offers dedicated and compassionate representation to protect your rights and to negotiate fair outcomes. Get in touch today to discuss your specific requirements and how we can assist you.
