About
Taylor Janis Workplace Law is a Western Canadian employment law boutique that focuses exclusively on workplace issues for both employees and employers. The firm positions itself as an advocate for people whose livelihoods are at stake, with the tagline “We give a voice to the silenced.” From the homepage, terminated or mistreated employees are urged not to sign anything before getting legal advice, and are invited to a structured termination review that looks closely at severance, notice, and the circumstances of the dismissal. The tone is direct and practical, aimed at people who may feel shocked or overwhelmed after losing their job or facing a toxic work environment.
For employees, the site organizes services around the problems workers most often face. There are detailed sections on termination without cause, just cause termination, severance package reviews, reasonable notice, constructive dismissal, temporary layoffs, and disputes over non competition and non solicitation clauses. The firm also represents workers dealing with harassment, bullying, discrimination, and human rights violations, along with unionized employees, government workers, professionals facing disciplinary hearings, and people working on contract. Explanations are written in plain language and emphasize that employers frequently fail to offer full compensation, particularly in severance and reasonable notice, and that legal advice can make a significant difference to the final outcome.
Employers and business owners are served through a parallel set of workplace focused services. Taylor Janis assists with drafting and reviewing employment contracts, creating workplace policies, handling employment litigation, managing executive employment relationships, and responding to human rights complaints. The firm also advises on workplace training and seminars, labour relations, shareholder disputes that intersect with employment, and employee immigration issues. A prominent theme is prevention and risk management, helping organizations set up clear, lawful practices that reduce conflict and make it easier to handle disputes when they arise.
The site features an extensive Knowledge Centre with guides on Alberta and British Columbia employment law, severance, termination tips, wrongful dismissal, and location specific articles for cities such as Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Vancouver, and Kamloops. Client testimonials highlight clear communication, compassion, and strong advocacy. Offices are located across Alberta and BC, and the firm offers flexible fee arrangements, including cautionary advice about when contingency agreements may or may not be in a client’s best interest. Overall, Taylor Janis Workplace Law is presented as a dedicated employment law team that combines focused legal knowledge with practical, strategic guidance for workplace disputes.
