Employment Lawyers Oakville

Wrongful Dismissal & Employment Law, Oakville & Burlington

Oakville and Burlington are home to major employers across automotive, manufacturing, professional services, and technology sectors. When employees in these industries face wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, or workplace harassment, they need employment lawyers who understand Ontario’s Employment Standards Act and the common law notice entitlements that go far beyond it.

Many Halton Region employees are offered severance packages worth far less than their legal entitlement. Employers typically offer ESA minimums, but common law notice, depending on age, tenure, position, and availability of comparable employment, can be significantly higher. Our Oakville employment lawyers review every severance offer before you sign anything.

Ontario employment law disputes proceed at the Ontario Superior Court in Milton or Hamilton, HRTO applications go to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, and ESA complaints go to the Ministry of Labour. Our employment lawyers handle all three streams.

Wrongful dismissal
Constructive dismissal
Severance package review
HRTO applications
Workplace harassment & discrimination
