2 law firms.

What does an employment lawyer do?

Employment and labour lawyers advise employees and employers on hiring, workplace policies, terminations, severance, human rights, and union matters. A lot of files involve a wrongful-dismissal claim or a negotiated exit.

Most workplaces are covered by provincial employment-standards law, while federally regulated sectors like banking, telecommunications, and interprovincial transport follow the Canada Labour Code.

How do you choose the right firm in Amherst?

Ask whether the firm acts mainly for employees or employers, since that shapes how it'll approach your file, plus how it handles severance and whether it litigates or settles.
