Immigration, Employment and Litigation

Immigration Law

Corporate Immigration – This sector deals with corporations that require the services of, and actually recruit foreign workers temporarily under the Temporary Foreign Workers Program to Canada. We advise and coordinate the entire process for job offers, possible selection and recruitment, LMIA or LMIA-Exempt work permit applications, renewals and transitioning to Permanent Residency.

Individual Immigration Law and Services

This is the service that handles matters pertaining to the following;

Refugee Protection (Asylum) Claims

Permanent Residency Applications and Family Sponsorships

Appeals to the IAD, RAD, Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal

Individual Work Permits for Applicants with job offers.

Employment Law

Termination of employment, with or without cause, Layoffs, Workers` Compensation Board complaints, Employment Insurance matters, Human Rights, Workplace Harassment and Bullying, Occupational Health and Safety, Employment Standards Complaints, etc. are very complex issues to handle, both for employers and employees. Our dispute resolution approach is our initial step towards ensuring proper advice is provided, and resolution achieved outside the Courts. When this fails, we have the experience to represent our clients, in their best interests, to ensure that they secure the compensation that is appropriate, or they are not exposed to disproportionate liabilities.

Civil and Commercial Litigation

Disagreements are inevitable in almost all commercial, contractual and diverse relationships that are usually more complex to be resolved by the parties. Our approach is usually to analyze the facts, determine the legal issues, and advise the client on the best possible solution to such disputes without bringing a claim in Court. When we are unable to resolve such disputes, we assist in pursuing or defending claims.

What makes us different

Our experience in the Oil & Gas Law and Agency services, and Maritime Law and Maritime Agency services, which is an exceptional combination of these complementary areas of practice, is further accentuated by employment law, immigration law and litigation; which are directly linked to the oil & gas and maritime sectors. Applying our expertise in mediation and arbitration to resolve disputes for and on behalf of our clients is also a unique attribute.

We connect with several countries in Africa, where we have a network of partners with whom we have worked in the past and still maintain professional relationships, that we leverage to provide exceptional services to our clients operating in Africa, or seeking to expand to Africa.

We assist businesses and investors in the Oil & Gas sector, directing them on the entire process of obtaining licenses, and assisting in every legal and statutory requirement is a great asset that makes us more and more unique.

Besides the review of contracts, termination and severance documents, immigration consultation, which are paid at our hourly rate, and notary services paid per document, we provide free 30 minutes consultation to our potential clients to either understand their issues, or provide preliminary advice on steps to take to avoid potential liability.
