It’s not just about the money. Increasingly, compensation packages feature complex designs that incorporate pensions and benefits along with creative bonus plans as well as stock and equity options.

Practice Area: Litigation
Judicial Review and Appeals
In litigation, the battle isn’t always over after the first decision. Protecting your interests throughout subsequent judicial review and appeals processes requires expertise, experience and skilled advocacy.
Injunctions
When it comes to obtaining injunctive relief – to preserve assets pending trial, seize evidence or restrain picketing – time is of the essence. Any delay in bringing (or responding to) an injunction can adversely affect a party’s rights. Injunctions are fast-paced litigation requiring expertise, skilled advocacy and a nimble team of experienced lawyers.
Class Actions
Class action defence requires experience, subject-matter expertise, strategic thinking and fearless advocacy. With the plaintiff’s bar continuing to push the envelope in seeking to certify novel new claims, the risk of potential damages—and costly litigation—for employers has never been greater. You can trust us to be on your side and get results.
