Evans Law Firm is a Toronto employment and labour law practice founded in 1993 by John R. Evans, a Certified Specialist in Labour Law with more than 30 years of experience. Its small team includes an associate counsel. Its office is on Prince Arthur Avenue in Toronto, inside a heritage building that dates to 1871.
The firm's caseload covers wrongful termination, both for cause and without cause, constructive dismissal, employment contract review and negotiation, workplace harassment, and employment related human rights claims. It also handles pension disputes, injunctions, and group litigation including employment class actions, and it has a dedicated practice for executive level matters such as unpaid bonuses, stock options, and non competition and non solicitation disputes. New clients get a free, no obligation 30 minute consultation. Depending on the case, the firm can act on a contingency basis, usually a share of the recovery secured on top of any written offer already on the table when it's retained, plus disbursements and HST, or on an hourly basis instead.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office at 15 Prince Arthur Avenue sits inside a detached house completed in 1871, listed as a heritage property in the City of Toronto's Inventory of Heritage Properties and part of the East Annex Heritage Conservation District. For a practice built around one on one work with people going through a job loss or a workplace dispute, meeting in a heritage house is a different kind of setting than a boardroom in a highrise.
