Helping Employees Across Canada Stand Up to Unfair Employers
Losing your job or being treated unfairly at work is more than just inconvenient — it’s often traumatic. Whether you were dismissed without notice, pressured to resign, or forced to endure a toxic work environment, you may feel overwhelmed, angry, and unsure of your rights.
At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we represent non-unionized employees in employment law disputes across Canada. We focus exclusively on employee-side representation — never employers — and help people navigate wrongful dismissals, discrimination, harassment, and unfair severance negotiations.
We’ll help you understand your rights, avoid critical mistakes, and move forward with clarity and control.
We Understand What You Are Going Through
- You’ve just been fired or laid off with no warning
- You were pressured to resign or “take the package” without time to think
- You’re dealing with a toxic work environment or denied accommodations
- You feel trapped and afraid of losing your income
- You want to stand up for yourself — but don’t know how
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
e know how intimidating it can be to stand up to your employer. Many of our clients come to us feeling confused, anxious, and overwhelmed by legal jargon and power imbalances in the workplace.
Our founder, David Brannen, understands this on a deeply personal level. One of the very first cases he took on after graduating from law school was helping a family member who had been wrongfully dismissed. It was more than just a legal case — it was a matter of principle and justice. That case became the first settlement David personally negotiated, and it set the foundation for his lifelong mission to help employees who are treated unfairly by their employers.
That experience continues to shape our firm’s values today: you deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and fairness — and we’ll stand with you to make that happen.
We take the time to explain your rights in plain language and build a strategy that fits your goals. You’ll always know where you stand and what to expect — no surprises.
