Frequently Asked Questions
When should a Toronto employer hire an employment lawyer?
Toronto employers should consult an employment lawyer before terminating employees (especially those with significant tenure, human rights considerations, or litigation history), when facing workplace complaints or investigations, when drafting or updating employment contracts, during workforce restructuring, or when responding to Human Rights Tribunal or Ministry of Labour matters. Early legal intervention typically reduces liability and protects business interests.
What does an employer defence lawyer do?
An employer defence lawyer represents businesses and organizations facing employment-related legal challenges. This includes defending against wrongful dismissal claims, responding to human rights complaints at the HRTO, managing workplace investigations, advising on terminations and restructuring, and ensuring compliance with Ontario employment legislation including the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and Human Rights Code.
What's the difference between an employment lawyer and a labour lawyer?
Employment lawyers typically handle non-unionized workplace matters, wrongful dismissal, employment contracts, workplace investigations, and human rights complaints. Labour lawyers focus on unionized workplaces, collective bargaining, grievance arbitration, and Ontario Labour Relations Board proceedings. Greenwood Law provides counsel across both employment and labour law matters.
How do I choose an employment law firm in Toronto?
Consider the firm’s experience with your specific issue (employer defence, professional regulation, workplace investigations), their familiarity with relevant tribunals, their approach to client service, and whether they understand your industry. An initial consultation can help assess fit before committing to representation.
Does Greenwood Law only serve Toronto?
Greenwood Law represents employers and professionals across Ontario and throughout Canada. Ontario employment law applies province-wide, and our lawyers have appeared in courts and tribunals across the country.
