We work with businesses of all sizes to help keep workplaces compliant, safe, and healthy. Strong workplace policies and binding employment contracts are key to preventing issues. If you’re facing a claim from a disgruntled employee, we can help you navigate the legal process and work toward a satisfactory resolution.
You don’t need a long process to get clarity. You need the right next move.
Employment issues become expensive when they're handled late—after positions harden and lawyers get involved.
That's why many employers come to us early. A consultation now can help you avoid the cost of a wrongful dismissal claim, a prolonged severance negotiation, or a workplace dispute that turns into litigation in the Courts or a complaint to the Human Rights Tribunal, the Employment Standards Branch or WorkSafe BC.
We draft and review offer letters, employment agreements, and contractor agreements—so expectations are clear and enforceable from day one.
We help you plan and execute terminations, layoffs, and restructures with the right documents, messaging, and risk controls so that you are legally compliant with laws and regulations.
We help you document performance concerns properly and build a fair process for both the employer and the employee that supports your decisions.
When a complaint comes in, we help you respond in a way that's timely, confidential and respectful—without improvising. We can assist you with investigating complaints from employees to ensure that the matter is handled professionally, neutrally and with compassion.
We help you put the basics in place such as vacation policies, bullying and harassment policies, leave policies and other standard operating procedures so that your team understands their rights as well as what is expected of them in the workplace.
If a dispute escalates, we can work with you to quickly and efficiently engage in negotiations and, if necessary, tribunal and court processes to ensure that the matter is handled in the best way possible from the very start.
Predictable pricing for common employer needs—designed to help you get control of the situation early. Many employers choose a flat fee upfront to reduce the risk of a costly claim later.
A focused review of your situation, key documents, and risk—followed by a clear plan and next steps.
Termination letter and release (where appropriate), risk notes, and practical guidance on execution.
Edits, improvements, and risk notes to tighten your offer letter or agreement before you send it.
A clear response plan, document checklist, and guidance on process—so you can act promptly and keep control.
We will create an Employee Handbook tailored to your business and workplace needs. Some of the policies we can draft include:
Your employee handbook is key to a successful and healthy work environment. We will also update your employee handbook when the legal landscape shifts and new laws are enacted.
Cases anonymized for confidentiality
A small business needed to terminate an employee with chronic absences. The employer didn’t have clear contracts or workplace policies in place, and was concerned about human rights risk.
We reviewed the situation and helped the employer document absences properly. We also prepared compliant contract and policy updates to reduce risk before termination.
A long-term contractor relationship began to look like employment, and the worker demanded severance and retroactive entitlements.
We assessed the relationship, organized the evidence, advised on exposure, and helped the business negotiate a resolution, implementing clearer policies and structure moving forward.
A complaint of sexual harassment created tension and uncertainty in a small workplace, and the employer wasn’t sure what process it should follow to address the situation.
We investigated the complaint and helped the employer find ways to deal with the harasser and ensure that the complainant felt safe in the workplace. We created a bullying and harassment workplace policy that would guide both the employees and the employer in the future.
A small business terminated an employee and then received a lawyer letter alleging wrongful dismissal and demanding a larger payout.
We reviewed the contract and the termination steps, identified the key risk points, and prepared a clear response with supporting documents. The dispute moved into a controlled negotiation instead of escalating into a lawsuit.
Urgent employment issue? Don’t wait another day. The earlier you get legal clarity and guidance, the less likely the situation becomes a lawsuit. Speak to our team for a confidential employer consultation.

"One employee kept missing shifts and it turned into a Human Rights conversation fast. We didn’t have policies or a proper contract, and I was worried we’d say the wrong thing and end up with a claim. We reached out to Adam Soliman Law Corporation and they helped us get organized, what to document, how to communicate, and what to avoid. After that, the situation became manageable and we resolved it without it blowing up."
"A harassment complaint came in and I froze. I didn’t want to make it worse, but I also didn’t want to ignore it. The team helped us respond in a way that was professional and fair. They guided the process, and put a policy in place so we weren’t guessing next time. It calmed the workplace down and gave us structure."
