Employment Law
SVR's employment group advises and advocates for Management and Employees alike.
Severance disputes; Enforcing restrictive covenants; Constructive dismissal; Navigating Employment Standards; Drafting/Vetting Employment Agreements and Employer Policies - the team at SVR has extensive and focused experience in all areas of employment law, both litigation and employment advice.
Examples of what we do:
When a key sales manager was constructively dismissed and the employer executed an Anton-Pillar Order, SVR successfully advocated for the employee that the restrictive covenant was unenforceable and the injunction orders be set aside.
When an ex-employee's contract ended and he alleged extra severance based on consecutive years service (despite having agreed to a part-time position and exact severance), SVR went to trial to successfully argue the validity of the contract and the capped entitlements owing.
When an employer had to let an employee go and they couldn’t agree on severance, SVR worked successfully with the employee’s counsel to reach a timely and fair settlement.
SVR lawyers are keen to assist you with your employment law issues and questions in a timely, cost-effective, and capable manner.
