Lenczner Slaght provides expert counsel in employment litigation to organizations of all sizes, acting on their behalf in disputes and helping to establish effective corporate policies and practices.

Our lawyers' deep grasp of current employment issues and emerging trends is backed by their successful track record in presenting cases at all levels of the courts, before regulatory bodies and in mediation or arbitration.

We understand the priorities of human resources professionals and are ready to deliver prompt, practical advice in the face of rapidly developing challenges. We also draw upon our extensive litigation experience to identify potential issues before they become problems, minimizing the risk of future legal action. And in the event that a dispute does arise, we have the negotiation and courtroom skills to guide the matter to a successful resolution – while respecting the unique values and culture of a client's organization.

Our focus is on complex employment law disputes, including terminations of executives, employee fraud, disputes involving departing employees who take confidential information to a competitor, and employment law class actions. However, working with a wide range of Canadian employers, as well as U.S.-based and other international companies operating in Canada, Lenczner Slaght provides expert support across the spectrum of employment issues.
