Employment Law and LitigationColson Winterstein has a wealth of experience and specialized knowledge in employment law on both the employee and employer side
In short, employment law is the centrepiece of our practice.
Our focus is advice and representation to senior and executive employees on a wide range of issues at every stage of employment. Before you commence employment, we provide strategic advice on the content of your employment agreement. During your employment, we help navigate difficult issues that arise, while ensuring your relationship with your employer is maintained. After your employment, we strive to ensure you receive your full legal entitlements. We also defend employees who are accused of wrongdoing in the course or at the end of their employment, for example, where they are accused of taking confidential information to a competitor or otherwise unlawfully competing.
Colson Winterstein also provides employers with practical advice to ensure they comply with provincial and federal statutes, regulations, and policies governing the workplace. We understand that management and human resources professionals need to have the appropriate policies in place to limit exposure to liability while also being ready to respond to issues raised by employees in real time on a day-to-day basis.
