The modern workplace is in transition. One of the significant issues facing employers is the variety of regimes that regulate employment. Fasken Martineau's Labour, Employment and Human Rights lawyers understand these requirements and assist employers with creative business planning on employment issues.
We provide timely advice on all aspects of the employment relationship. This includes the preparation of employment contracts for senior executives, assistance in the resolution of employment disputes, guidance in the termination of the employment relationship and, if necessary, representation in the courts or before federal and provincial administrative boards. Members of our firm have been instrumental in promoting alternative dispute resolution methods.
We provide employers with strategies that can minimize the risks of potential wrongful dismissal suits. An important initial step is demonstrating how employment and contractor agreements should be structured.
Employment litigation can be extremely costly to employers. Not only are we committed to cost-effective and innovative solutions to employment issues, we strive to reduce overall legal costs, achieved by providing ongoing and proactive advice to management clients prior to and during the course of personnel decisions.
