Employment Lawyer Fees
Free employment consultation & no fees unless you win
There are many Canadian employment law issues in which a person may require legal representation or professional legal advice, including wrongful dismissal, failure to accommodate, and severance issues. You may feel like you can't afford an employment lawyer, but you can. Our lawyers are here to help. With over 35 years of experience, we fight for your rights and compensation.
Are you looking for a contingency employment lawyer? Share Lawyers’ experienced employment lawyers can talk to you for free and guide your next steps.
Employment Claims
Our maximum contingency-fee percentage is 33%*
We offer flexible fee arrangements, including contingency-fee, hourly, or in some cases a combination, depending on your specific needs. We encourage you to speak with us about the arrangement that works best for you. In certain situations where a contingency-fee retainer is not possible, we can review other alternatives together.
Your initial case assessment is free—there are no upfront costs, and you won’t pay any fees unless we win your case. Our approach is entirely results-based, meaning we only get paid when you receive compensation.
Employment lawyer fees are calculated as a percentage of the total recovery, and this percentage is always discussed with you in advance. All terms are clearly outlined in a written retainer agreement that complies with Law Society requirements.

Paying for an employment lawyer can feel overwhelming after facing a serious workplace problem, but you don’t need to worry. We make our services accessible to support you when you need it most.

| Contingency Employment Lawyer Model | Fee-Based Employment Lawyer Model | |
| How Fees Work | Payment is only due if the employment claim succeeds. | Fees must be paid upfront and billed hourly as the case progresses. |
| Financial Responsibility | No obligation to pay unless the case is resolved positively, reducing monetary risk. | Financial commitment is required regardless of the outcome, adding risk. |
| Accessibility | Services are available to all, even those without immediate funds, making legal support more attainable. | Early fees may create barriers for individuals unable to pay right away. |
| Lawyer Motivation | Compensation depends on winning, so the lawyer’s interests are tied to the client’s success. | Payment is guaranteed no matter the result, which may reduce the lawyer’s incentive to win. |
| Financial Planning | No advance payment needed, letting clients prioritize other financial responsibilities or job transition. | Clients must prepare to pay from the outset, which can disrupt budgets and cause stress. |
| Payment Flexibility | Charges are arranged based on outcome, offering adaptable payment options. | Payment schedules are usually firm with less opportunity for adjustment. |
| Service Quality | Lawyers are encouraged to work harder and smarter for the best result, since their fee depends on it. | Service effort can vary with no direct link between result and compensation. |
| Client Confidence | Legal costs are based on results, giving clients greater peace of mind and confidence in representation. | Paying regardless of case outcome can impact trust and create uncertainty. |
| Goal Alignment | Both lawyer and client benefit if the case is resolved favourably, creating shared incentives. | Lawyer and client interests may not always align, as payment isn’t tied to the final result. |
