Employment Law

Prowse Chowne offers its clients, both employers and employees, representation in all aspects of employment law.  Our expertise comes from a clear understanding of Alberta’s employment-related legislation including the Employment Standards Code, the Workers’ Compensation Act and the Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Act.  Our litigation team has extensive experience assisting both employees and employers.  Through negotiation and use of the court process, we guide our clients toward favourable resolutions.

In our role as business advisors, we help business owners understand the law applicable to employment relationships. We provide advice on all aspects of this area of law including employee rights on dismissal, severance packages, employment contracts, advice about the context of purchase or sale of a business, mergers and re-organizations — all with a commitment to protecting our clients’ business interests.
