Welcome to Janis Employment Law
Serving Employees Across Alberta
We are one of Alberta’s most highly regarded employment and human rights law firms. We specialize in the following employment law matters, including
- Disability and human rights concerns
- Harassment investigations – let us help you navigate this stressful process
- Constructive dismissal or unauthorized changes to your pay, position, or duties
- Severance evaluation on dismissal
- Severance negotiation with your former employer
- Using the formal court process to enforce your right to severance.
Our Process:
- Confidential Consultation – for your convenience, we start with a one-on-one virtual or telephone meeting. This is perhaps the most important meeting you will have with your employment lawyer, as it sets the stage for the important next steps. We will review important documents such as your employment contract, pertinent emails, and the unique facts of your employment.
- Strategy – After we have a solid understanding of the facts of your case, we then devise a legal strategy-with your input- which is the most appropriate and cost-effective for your situation.
- We go to work for you – we develop a well-researched and supported legal argument tailored to your case, which we use to either negotiate your desired outcome or to start the formal court process against your former employer.
- Closure – we do our best to ensure your matter is resolved as efficiently as possible, so that you can have much-needed closure and move on with your career.
Our Core Values:
- Communication – we appreciate that these situations are distressing to our clients, and so we aim to keep you informed about the status of your file as regularly as possible.
- Diligence – we are relentless in our continued assessment, evaluation, and strategy when it comes to getting the best result for you.
- Efficiency – We keep your matter moving to resolution. Some lawyers have been accused of not paying enough attention to files. Not us. We are results-driven, meaning we don’t plaud our way through the legal process but focus only on work necessary to achieve your objective.
- Fairness – We are mindful of the cost of our services. While we admit our services are not cheap, we prioritize the economics of your file – that every dollar you invest in us is allocated to putting you in the best position possible.
If you’ve been terminated from your employment or you feel that you have no choice but to leave your employment, call us today before you take any further steps at: (403) 388-9693 or send us an inquiry.
