How We Can Help You Resolve Your Employment Issue

  • Recover Full Severance Pay

    Too many employees accept severance packages far below what they’re legally owed. Our team, well-versed in federal and provincial employment laws, will calculate what you’re entitled to and ensure you receive the full amount under provided by law.

  • Resolve Wrongful Dismissal Claims

    If you’ve been terminated and not given fair severance, it’s considered wrongful dismissal. We’ll draw on our extensive experience in employment law to secure the compensation you’re owed, ensuring your employer complies with the law.

  • Protect Your Human Rights at Work

    Every employee is entitled to a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. We’ll ensure your employer upholds your human rights, taking action when they fail to meet legal obligations.

  • Review and Negotiate Employment Contracts

    An unfair employment contract can jeopardize your rights. Our lawyers will review or negotiate your agreement to ensure it’s fair, compliant with the law, and protects your interests.


Types of Employment Law Cases We Handle

Our employment lawyers handle a wide range of workplace issues, from severance pay and wrongful dismissal to human rights violations and contract reviews. Whatever your challenge, we’re here to help.

I was wrongfully terminated after 4 years on the job. After trying their Severance Pay Calculator and watching a few episodes of the Employment Law Show, I reached out to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP and I'm glad I did. They settled my case out of court and got me a very fair settlement in what I consider to be a very short amount of time.
