Understanding Employment Disputes
Workplace disputes can cause both financial uncertainty and emotional stress. Whether you’re an employee facing unfair treatment or an employer defending against claims, navigating Ontario’s employment laws requires clear guidance and assertive representation. At Nihang Law, we provide practical legal solutions to resolve employment conflicts with fairness, clarity, and professionalism.
We support both employees and employers through every stage of a workplace dispute, whether that means reviewing severance packages, addressing unjust dismissals, or resolving claims through negotiation or litigation.
Comprehensive Services for Employment Disputes
At Nihang Law, we offer a wide range of legal services to address the most common and complex employment disputes, including:
Wrongful Dismissal and Termination Without Cause
We represent employees who have been terminated without fair notice or just cause. Whether your employer failed to meet their legal obligations or offered an inadequate severance package, we assess your entitlements and pursue appropriate compensation. For employers, we provide legal strategies to mitigate liability and defend against wrongful dismissal claims.
Constructive Dismissal
If your employer has made fundamental changes to your job without your consent—such as a demotion, pay cut, or toxic work environment—you may have grounds to claim constructive dismissal. We evaluate your case and take action to enforce your rights.
Breach of Employment Contract
Disputes often arise when the terms of employment—whether written or implied—are not honoured. We assist both employees and employers in resolving issues relating to job duties, compensation, non-compete clauses, or confidentiality provisions.
Severance and Termination Package Review
Employees are often unsure whether their termination package is fair or lawful. We provide detailed reviews to ensure termination packages comply with both the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and your full entitlements under Ontario common law. Employers also benefit from our drafting and review services to avoid future disputes.
Employer-Side Defence Against Employee Claims
We help employers defend against claims related to wrongful dismissal, discrimination, unpaid wages, and harassment. Our goal is to reduce legal exposure through proactive policy development, negotiation, and—when necessary—strong courtroom advocacy.
Discrimination and Harassment Complaints
Whether you’ve been subjected to or accused of discrimination, harassment, or workplace violence, we assist clients in navigating complaints filed under the Ontario Human Rights Code or workplace policies. We provide representation before tribunals or courts, and advice on internal investigations and accommodations.
