Lecker & Associates is a Toronto area employment and disability law firm that has represented employees exclusively for more than 40 years. The firm is based in North York, in the Hullmark Corporate Centre on Yonge Street, and serves clients across the Greater Toronto Area plus Hamilton and Ottawa without opening additional branch offices in those cities. Its lawyers handle wrongful and constructive dismissal, severance negotiations, workplace harassment, disability benefit denials, and layoffs affecting workers aged 55 and older.
The firm's principal, Bram A. Lecker, was called to the bar in Ontario in 1984 after earning a B.A. (Honours) in Canadian Studies from York University and an LL.B. from the University of Ottawa. Lecker also teaches paralegal students at Humber and Seneca Colleges and represented the plaintiff in Keenan v. Canac Kitchens, a landmark case about the rights of dependent contractors that fed into discussion of Ontario's Bill 148. Most files at the firm proceed on a recovery-based fee, so clients don't pay an up front retainer for the majority of wrongful dismissal, severance, and disability claims, and each engagement begins with a written Service Commitment Letter that sets out the fee.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Lecker & Associates works out of a single office in the Hullmark Corporate Centre on Yonge Street in North York, with direct indoor access from the Yonge-Sheppard subway station. That matters for a firm that meets employees from across Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Hamilton, and Ottawa: rather than opening a branch office in each city, it keeps one location that's reachable by subway from most of the GTA, and fills in the rest with phone consultations and online booking for clients who can't easily get to North York.
