He also advises employees who need help understanding their rights before signing a package, resigning, or responding to a workplace issue.

The goal is to help you make the right decision before the situation becomes harder to solve.
For Employers
Are Your Employment Agreements Still Protecting Your Business?
Employment law changes.
Court decisions change.
Workplace expectations change.
An employment agreement that looked safe when it was signed may not protect your business today.
Kupferstein Friedland & Associates offers a free employment agreement review for employers who want to understand whether their current contracts are outdated, unclear, or creating unnecessary risk.
This review can help you consider questions such as:
- Are your termination clauses still appropriate?
- Do your contracts match current Ontario employment law?
- Are your agreements clear and enforceable?
- Are your policies consistent with how your business actually operates?
- Are outdated clauses creating risk you may not see yet?
This offer is designed for employers who want to identify potential issues before a workplace dispute begins.
