Standing By Employees In Employment Litigation
Faced with a distressing workplace environment or an unjustified termination, employees often feel they are alone and powerless to stand up for themselves. Seeking legal advice can give employees the confidence that their concerns are justified and that they have legitimate cause to use the law to protect their needs. A lawyer can provide a range of legal advice including the effects of taking legal action.
In addition to courtroom and mediation proceedings, many employment disputes involve regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Labour and the Ontario Human Rights Commission. Ms. Cook's extensive experience — not only as a litigator but also as a lawyer representing clients in regulatory matters — makes her a strong choice for employers and employees seeking legal advice.
