Litigation

In some cases it is not possible to resolve an outstanding claim of an employee or former employee without civil litigation. While we are always mindful of the costs of litigation to our clients in terms of time and expense, there are occasions where legal proceedings are unavoidable. At Turnpenney Milne LLP we act as counsel in most litigation matters arising out of the workplace. Beyond traditional wrongful and constructive dismissal claims we act as counsel regarding the denial of STD benefits, wrongful competition claims, contractual disputes and in independent contractor situations. We are able to act at all levels of the Ontario Courts including judicial review and appeals.

At each stage of the litigation we will keep you informed regarding your options, the necessary procedural steps that must be fulfilled and the legal costs that can be anticipated. We are of the view that litigation does not have to be acrimonious and hope to demystify the process to achieve positive results for our clients.
