Toronto Employment Lawyers representing Employers

Whether the company in question is a small business or a large multi-national corporation, the essential duties of an employer remain consistent. Ensuring protection of employee rights and compliance with the law must be balanced with the interests of the company and limiting the employer’s liability.

While these requirements are universal, companies that employ a large number of employees will have unique considerations in how those duties are carried out. Our employment lawyers have extensive experience working with clients that have hundreds or thousands of employees spread across the provinces and international borders, and we are acutely aware of and able to assist with legal considerations that are particular to companies of this size.

At Mills & Mills LLP, our team of dedicated professionals has decades of experience dealing with a comprehensive range array of employment issues, and can provide advice, draft documents and agreements, and represent clients in litigation when necessary. Our goal is to help our clients limit their exposure to liability by providing practical legal advice and service of the highest quality.

We provide employers with advice on a host of employment issues, including:

• Drug testing
• Workplace violence
• Hostile work environments
• Human rights violations
• Employment standards
• Pensions, benefits and disability
