Employment Contract Review
CONTACT USAn employment contract review is a legal analysis of the agreement that your employer is asking you to sign. We explain what it actually means, and we tell you what’s worth negotiating.
Common Red Flags
Termination clauses that severely limit your severance rights. Some of these clauses are illegal under Ontario law.
Bonus language that allows your employer to deny your bonus the moment you’re dismissed.
Repayment traps buried in a signing bonus.
Anti-constructive dismissal clauses that let your employer change the terms of your employment.
How We Help You
Most employment contracts are drafted by employers and heavily favour them. Our lawyers will help level the playing field. We will:
- Review your contract;
- Advise you on the enforceability of restrictive clauses;
- Provide “behind-the-scenes” negotiation support; or,
- Negotiate directly with your employer.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I negotiate my contract?Yes — more often than you think. We tell you exactly what to push back on and how.
- What if I've already signed?Some clauses are still challengeable after execution. You may have more options than you realize.
- How fast can you turn this around?One to two business days. Urgent reviews are available if your deadline is tight.
