How Can I Help You?

Assess Severance
Offers

You have been terminated and your employer made you an offer of money (severance) in exchange for your signature on a release. I can help you assess whether that offer was reasonable and if not, I can help you negotiate for the amount you are entitled to. Zoe regularly negotiates severance entitlements for workers. Recently, she negotiated an increase of over $50,000 for her client.

Challenging Termination for Cause

You are terminated for cause but you don’t think it is fair or right. I can help you assess whether the facts of your case merit a for cause termination. In most cases, just cause terminations are not legal. Last year, Zoe obtained a $40,000 settlement for a client who had been fired for cause because their boss was upset about some jokes made on a whatsapp group thread.

Employment Contract Review

You have been offered a position and received an employment contract. You don’t understand everything in the contract or which parts are especially important. Zoe regularly assists workers understand their employment contracts and negotiate entitlements and benefits.

Workplace Discrimination and Bullying

You are still working but experiencing discrimination or bullying in the workplace. You want to know your rights and how best to handle the situation. Zoe can help explain your rights and craft a solution that allows you to prioritize your mental health and get the help you
