How We Help Employees
-
Secure Full Severance Pay
Most employees are owed far more than their employer offers. We calculate your true entitlement and negotiate for the maximum compensation.
-
Fight Wrongful Dismissals
If you were fired without proper notice or a fair package, we take immediate action to get the severance the law requires.
-
Challenge Unfair Job Changes
A demotion, pay cut, reduced hours, or forced relocation may be a constructive dismissal. We ensure you’re not pressured into accepting illegal changes.
-
Protect Your Human Rights at Work
We represent employees facing discrimination, harassment, or denied accommodations — and help enforce your right to a safe, fair workplace.
-
Review and Negotiate Employment Contracts
Before you sign, we explain what’s enforceable, flag hidden risks, and negotiate stronger terms that protect your future.
-
Support During Workplace Investigations
We guide you through discipline, complaints, or investigations to make sure your rights aren’t overlooked or violated.
-
Resolve Compensation and Overtime Issues
From unpaid wages to overtime disputes, we help you recover money you’re legally owed.

Provide Clear Direction Before You Act
Whether you’re considering quitting, filing a complaint, or responding to your employer, we help you avoid costly mistakes.
