Employment Law

I assist and represent individuals in the areas of:
  • Review of, advise on and negotiate employment agreements and independent contractor agreements;
  • Advise on, negotiate and, if necessary, go to court on the issues of wrongful termination of employment and termination pay;
  • Advise on rights and obligations of employers and employees;
  • Review and advise on confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements.

Real Estate

Purchase, sale and re-finance of real estate.
I represent individuals and banks in purchase and sale of residential, agricultural and commercial real estate.
It is generally advisable to engage a lawyer before removing all "subject to" clauses or conditions. Once they are removed, the contract of purchase and sale is firm and the purchaser will not be able to get out of it without serious financial repercussions. I offer purchaser-clients to review the contract of purchase and sale, review encumbrances registered on title.
Also, I review and provide advice on condominium bylaws and condominium documents.

Wills and Estates

I advise my clients on estate planning strategies and prepare wills, powers of attorney and personal directives.
I recommend obtaining all three of the above documents. the will comes into force on the day of death. The power of attorney and personal directive are necessary if the person is alive but does not have capacity because of illness or injury. The period of incapacity can be short or fairly long. If there is no power of attorney in place, the relatives of the incapacitated person will have to obtain a court order appointing someone a guardian. It may take over three months and cost over $3,000 to obtain such a court order. I can assist those who find themselves in this situation, but i recommend to obtain a power of attorney ahead of time.
A personal directive allows another person to make medical, healthcare and personal decisions on behalf of an adult who has lost capacity.

Family Law: A Compassionate and Informed Approach

At Harmony Law, our Family Law division provides thoughtful and compassionate legal support during what is often a difficult time.
We understand the emotional challenges that come with separation, divorce, and other family-related matters. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through this process with care, keeping you fully informed while helping you understand your rights and responsibilities.
We offer comprehensive legal services for a wide range of family law issues, including divorce proceedings, cohabitation agreements, prenuptial agreements, parenting agreements, separation agreements, pension valuation, valuation and division or buy out of the family business and matters concerning parenting, child custody and access. We also handle issues related to child support, spousal support, and the division of matrimonial property.
Our primary goal is to empower you to make informed decisions. We take the time to explain the legal process in clear, accessible terms, ensuring you understand your options and the potential outcomes.
While we always strive for respectful resolutions through negotiation and mediation, our team is prepared to advocate for your interests in court if necessary. We believe that in most cases disagreements can be resolved through negotiation if the parties are prepared to compromise. A negotiated outcome allows parties to control the outcome rather than have a judge (who is a stranger to all parties) to impose his or her binding decision.
We prioritize communication, ensuring you are always up-to-date on your case.
Our team is committed to providing a supportive environment where you can navigate your legal journey with confidence, knowing you have a dedicated advocate on your side. We strive to achieve respectful resolutions, always putting the well-being of our clients and their families first.
