A Passionate Advocate

Motivated by Making a Positive Difference in People’s Lives

Employment lawyer, Jason Jagpal, Sr. Associate at Whitten and Lublin, practices employment law because he knows the positive difference it can make in people’s lives.

As a strong advocate of client rights, Jason ensures no client feels powerless. He enables clients to take control of their situation by providing them with the confidence to take action. His straightforward, collaborative and engaging approach with clients leads them to describe his experience, knowledge and professionalism as “invaluable”. His “exceptional focus”, “methodical approach” and results orientation means no detail is overlooked in pursuit of maximum results for his client.

With employment law constantly changing, Jason loves the challenge of thinking creatively and strategically to find or close loopholes during negotiations and litigation to protect his client’s best interest.

Jason ‘s litigation experience has had him appear in front of several courts and tribunals including the Superior Court, the Court of Appeal, Human Rights Tribunal, Workplace Safety and Insurance Tribunal, and the Financial Services Commission of Ontario Tribunal.

Jason is also one of a few employment lawyers who has experience as a personal injury lawyer, having helped people who were injured through negligence or neglect of others. This background has transferred well to workplace legal disputes, where one party can try to take advantage of the other.

Jason advises and represents both employees and employers on all aspects of the employment law, including wrongful dismissals, workplace investigations, human rights violations, workplace safety, harassment and violence concerns.

Jason Jagpal is a member of the South Asian Bar Association. He is also able to provide legal services in Punjabi.

Jason has extensive experience litigating employment disputes throughout the country. Jason has successfully navigated through various federal and provincial legal systems, including appearances before the Ontario Court of Appeal, Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Human Rights Tribunal, Canadian Industrial Relations Board, Canadian Human Rights Commission, British Columbia Supreme Court and Alberta Court of Justice.

Nader v. University Health Network, 2022 - successfully overtured lower court’s decision in the Court of Appeal, attaining the client’s bonus entitlement throughout his reasonable notice period.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jason Jagpal from this firm. He bent over backwards to make sure I had what I needed and was always accommodating no matter the situation.

Andrew Safranko

I was laid off during the pandemic. Jason Jagpal negotiated an outstanding settlement with my employer. He is very knowledgeable and I am very happy that I chose to retain him and his firm to help me during such a difficult time.

Daniel Wilson

I luckily found Jason Jagpal at Whitten & Lublin to answer some serious questions that had come up in the course of significant, worrisome changes at my workplace. Jason provided super clear and very reasonable advice, with my best interest at heart, and without trying to "upsell". I found his experience, knowledge, and professionalism invaluable and congratulated myself for having sought legal support at this company. No question is too small for them. The fee for what I received was more than fair. I will stay with Jason for any future worries!

Gaby Harper

I had the pleasure of working with Jason Jagpal from Whitten & Lublin. I found the team to be inviting, friendly and knowledgeable. He went through my severance package with me and explained the pro’s and con’s. He explained the Ontario Labour Laws as it pertained to my situation and gave me options each step of the way. I never felt pressured to do something I did not want to and I really felt like the law firm stood behind me as I have never faced this type of situation before. Jason responded to all of my questions and concerns promptly. All documentation was reviewed and approved before sending to my former company. All of this made dealing with the law firm stress free. I was very happy with the outcome of my settlement and would highly recommend Jason from Whitten and Lublin.
