Franklin Law is made up of a diverse group of lawyers supported by law students and volunteers drawn together by their shared commitment to working with and fighting for workers.Whether or not you call yourself a professional, an employee, a worker, an independent contractor, a tradesperson, an executive, a union member, a member of a co-op, a labourer or unemployed, we understand the injustices you face at work and are committed to working with you and if necessary, fighting alongside you, whenever your rights have been or stand to be violated.We do our best work in areas where workers need us the most. We routinely assist workers in: severance package reviews and negotiations, wrongful dismissal actions, constructive dismissal actions, human rights complaints, unjust dismissal complaints, contract negotiations and disputes, non-competition and non-solicitation clause disputes, workers’ compensation claims, grievance/arbitration, duty of fair representation complaints and employment insurance claims.We emphasize a collaborative approach to legal support and representation. We work “with” workers by listening to them, understanding their concerns, evaluating their legal and non-legal options and jointly devising strategies with them. Our services range from providing objective third party opinions and advice to providing full representation to workers before all levels of Court and Administrative Tribunals.We have an incredibly diverse client base and pride ourselves on our ability to deliver accessible, innovative and cost-effective legal advice and representation without compromising service or quality.When we are not litigating, we develop and deliver training courses aimed at empowering workers, participating in broader community-based law reform initiatives, and providing “behind the scenes” support to a number of organizations that are committed to protecting workers’ interests.
