Whitten & Lublin Employment Lawyers in Newmarket handle all types of workplace legal issues
Our work is grounded in experience, shaped by years of advising both employees and employers across a wide range of legal concerns. Some cases are straightforward. Others are layered and highly sensitive. No matter the complexity, we approach each matter with focus and care. We advise on a wide variety of employment law issues, including:
- wrongful dismissal
- constructive dismissal
- severance pay and severance package reviews
- human rights violations, workplace harassment, and sexual harassment
- workplace discrimination and bullying
- employment contracts
- shareholder and partnership disputes
- workplace investigation
- disability insurance claims
- class action lawsuits
Legal problems at work rarely come neatly packaged. A severance dispute might stem from a breakdown in trust. An offer letter that seems straightforward could contain terms that limit your future options. Often, what appears to be a single issue is part of a larger pattern, one that deserves closer attention. We take the time to understand not only the legal question, but the context that surrounds it.
It’s not uncommon for clients to approach us with one concern and uncover others in the process. For example, a discussion about workplace harassment could turn into a constructive dismissal issue if it is found that the employer failed to take appropriate action or retaliated against the employee in some way for raising their concerns and attempted to fundamentally change the terms of employment. These layers matter. They shape your legal position, your negotiating power, and ultimately, your peace of mind.
Clients in Newmarket rely on our ability to bring structure to complex employment law issues, to offer clear direction when the next steps aren’t obvious. We believe that good legal advice isn’t just about rules and regulations, it’s about understanding your goals, protecting your reputation, and giving you the confidence to move forward.
At Whitten & Lublin, we don’t rush to conclusions. Our experienced employment lawyers have built a strong reputation, widely recognized by both clients and peers, making us one of most recommended labour and employment law firms serving Newmarket. We listen, we evaluate, and we respond with thoughtful, strategic legal guidance, always tailored to your specific needs. The outcome matters, but so does the legal process. We’re here to help you navigate both.
One of the most common questions we receive is: How much do employment lawyers charge in Ontario? The answer depends on the nature and complexity of the issue. A one-time review of an employment contract may be billed at hourly rate while consultations regarding more complex matters such as wrongful dismissal claims, workplace harassment, or discrimination cases are billed at a flat rate for a specific time period. Once your situation is understood, the lawyer will discuss with you the different payment options if you choose to retain them for your case.
At Whitten & Lublin, we are committed to transparency. From the outset, you will receive a clear explanation of costs, tailored to your specific situation. Whether you are seeking early advice or pursuing a formal claim, our goal is to ensure you understand the value of the legal services we provide every step of the way.
There is no universal timeline. Some disputes resolve within weeks through direct negotiation. If a case proceeds through the full legal process whether it’s grounded in the Employment Standards Act or involves claims under common law, it can take 2 to 4 years from start to finish.
While that timeline may seem daunting, there are multiple opportunities to negotiate and settle at various points along the way. Many employment disputes are settled long before they ever get to trial.
Our role is to prepare you for each stage of the legal process. We provide realistic timelines and keep you informed of developments as they arise.
