Our team has deep experience working with individuals across a range of industries in the Waterloo Region. We understand how quickly an employment matter can escalate, and how important it is to have clear, strategic advice early on.
Whitten & Lublin is highly regarded among employment law firms in Ontario. Our work has earned the trust of clients and recognition from peers for both our results and the way we serve. When you come to us, you’re choosing experienced employment lawyers known for their unwavering commitment to doing what’s right for the people we represent.
Whether you’ve been offered a contract that doesn’t feel right, a severance package that needs to be reviewed, aa or need guidance navigating administrative tribunals like the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, we’re here to help. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all answers. We build legal strategies tailored to your situation and designed to protect your long-term interests.
Legal fees depend on your specific situation. For example, an employment contract review is billed hourly. For other matters such as wrongful dismissal or severance review, we offer flat-fee consultations. If you retain us beyond that, we’ll walk you through your billing options clearly and transparently.
You’ll always know the cost structure upfront.
From the beginning, we’ll outline your likely path and timelines, keep you informed throughout, and work to resolve your matter as efficiently as possible.
In most situations, yes. Many employees don’t have a full understanding of their workplace rights, whether they’re being wrongfully dismissed, or if their severance offer meets employment standards. Legal advice can be the difference between walking away with less or securing what you’re truly entitled to.
Absolutely. Employment contracts shape your future rights including termination clauses, non-solicitation restrictions, and benefit entitlements. One overlooked clause can cost you significantly down the line.
Having a labour and employment lawyer review your contract before signing gives you the clarity and leverage to negotiate fairer terms. We ensure your agreement aligns with your legal rights and your best interests.
