Constructive Dismissal

Has your employer made negative changes to your employee contract without your consent? Or you may not have an employee contract but your pay, workplace location or duties have changed fundamentally? You may be able to claim constructive dismissal – whereby you still work for an employer but have been effectively dismissed. Each situation is unique. 

Discrimination

Does your employer treat you as less capable or worthy based on your gender, age, race, religion or sexual orientation? Are your opportunities the same as your colleagues? You deserve concern, respect and consideration. Grosman Law Group will determine if your employment has been limited because of discrimination.

Employment Contracts

Have you been offered the perfect job opportunity? Let Grosman Law Group review your employment contract and provide advice on maximizing your benefits and compensation while mitigating your contractual risk.

Employment Equity

Employment equity refers to policies forbidding discriminatory hiring practices and workplace policies that subordinate the interests of certain individuals on the basis of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, disability and religion, amongst others. Our experienced lawyers can help you meet your employment law compliance requirements. We work with employers from all industries to review, draft and update employment and HR policies and procedures to prevent problems before they occur. Through our ongoing business relationships, we also help clients properly prepare for and respond to audits and investigations.

Executive Coaching

Executive coaching is a broad service we offer to executives who desire one-on-one coaching for leadership and skill development, performance improvement and succession planning.

Second Opinion

When something as important as your career, you're working future and your financial health is at risk it is wise to seek a second opinion in order to fully understand your options and opportunities. A second opinion answers the question, is our current strategy on track? How do we increase our chance of success? Is there an alternative strategy that is more likely to result in success?
