“I was constructively dismissed from my employer of 9 years. I spoke with David Vaughan who connected with me on a human level. The result ended with a better than expected settlement.”
Constructive dismissal
“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.”
Wrongful dismissal

Questions before you call?
What can an employment lawyer help me with?
We help non-union employees with severance, dismissal, employment contracts, harassment, discrimination and major changes at work. You can contact us while you are still employed.
Is the consultation free?
Some, but not all, severance package reviews, wrongful dismissal and termination without cause matters qualify for a free consultation. Contract reviews and other workplace disputes may involve a paid consultation. We explain any fee before you book. See our fee options.
Can you negotiate my severance?
Yes. We review your offer, identify what’s missing and negotiate with your employer. Before you accept, have us check it.
Learn about severance pay in Ontario.
Should I call before quitting or signing?
Yes. Contact us before signing a release, accepting major changes to your job or resigning over a workplace problem.
Do I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Nearly all disputes can be resolved through negotiation. We pursue a practical resolution and prepare to take your case further when needed.
Can you help if I belong to a union?
No. Our employment team represents non-union employees. For a unionized workplace dispute, contact your union. For a separate denied disability insurance claim, our disability team may be able to help if you’re non-unionized.
What if my employer says I was fired for cause?
Do not assume that means you are owed nothing. Have us review the allegation and your termination documents before accepting your employer’s position.
