Our
Expertise
Disputes.
Our firm acts regularly in large, complex and high-stakes litigation or arbitration, in matters of vital importance to our clients. We are there to counsel and to represent our clients, and to defend their interests, whether before the courts of justice or arbitration tribunals, or by way of negotiation or mediation.
Termination of employment
We have acted for numerous high-ranking executives in connection with the termination of their employment contracts, and we have provided assistance in negotiating their severance, drafting and revising their employment contracts, as well as in the context of court proceedings to obtain compensation for insufficient notice of termination.
We advise and represent employees and employers in labour disputes. Non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, confidentiality agreements and matters of wrongful dismissal are part of our daily practice. Most cases settle before they even reach trial.
