As an employment law specialist, I advise employees and employers on a wide range of issues, including:

Termination of employment;
Disability management;
Disciplinary matters;
Drafting and reviewing employment and consulting / contractor  agreements;
Drafting and advising on restrictive covenants (non-competition and non-solicitation);
Human rights matters; and
Drafting and revising Human Resource policies.

I typically charge an hourly rate. I do not take files on a contingency fee basis (percentage of recovery).
