Severance Package Review

Have you been fired from your job? Did you just receive a severance package or termination letter? You need to speak with an employment lawyer immediately to ensure that you are receiving the correct amount of severance pay and termination pay. Employers will often provide you with only a few days to conduct a severance package review. Consult with us today so that we may review your severance package, and simultaneously create a strategy to enforce your legal rights during your unemployment.

 

Our severance pay lawyers will provide you with an informed legal opinion about your legal rights to severance payments under the Employment Standards Act, contract law, and the common law. Too often, offers of severance pay made by employers after you are fired are much lower than what courts will award. This means engaging a severance lawyer is your first step in negotiating a fair severance package.

The Toronto severance lawyers and employment lawyers at our firm will help review your severance package in order to ensure that you receive your full legal entitlements under Ontario severance law. We are highly successful in negotiating with your employer to increase and improve your severance payments. In fact, we frequently help clients double their severance payments. Additionally, for clients who do not wish to pay legal fees upfront, we are often able to take on your case as contingency fee lawyers. This means your legal fees are based on a percentage of the improvement to your severance package that we successfully negotiate or achieve. 

 

Call now for a free phone consultation with an employment lawyer. Severance packages and severance pay calculations can be confusing. We can help you understand how to calculate severance pay after your termination, layoff, job loss, or wrongful dismissal. Our severance attorneys also help assist clients with all aspects of severance law, severance issues, severance negotiations, severance agreements, and even voluntary severance packages (for employees who wish to be voluntarily terminated). Looking for a severance lawyer near you? Call us today.

Severance Improvement Program™


Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Severance Package

At Randy Ai Law Office, we know that losing your job, whether through termination, layoff, or wrongful dismissal, is one of the most difficult moments in a person’s career. But it can also be a turning point. Our Severance Improvement Program™ was created to help you turn that moment into an opportunity: one where you walk away with the full compensation you deserve, without unnecessary stress or delays.

Through expert legal representation, strategic negotiation, and deep knowledge of employment law, we improve severance outcomes, often dramatically, for employees across Ontario and beyond.

What Is the Severance Improvement Program™?

The Severance Improvement Program™ is a results driven legal strategy developed by Randy Ai Law Office to maximize your severance package without going to court. We do this by reviewing your severance offer, identifying gaps, legal entitlements, and hidden leverage, and then executing a negotiation plan tailored to your unique situation.

Whether you were terminated without cause, pressured to resign, or let go after a disability or parental leave, you may be entitled to significantly more than what was initially offered.

Most severance reviews are completed within 24 to 48 hours. Once enrolled in the program, our clients typically see a resolution within 1 to 3 months, allowing us to secure a full settlement without court in 90 days or less in most cases.

And we offer free legal consultations, so there’s no cost to speak with us and understand your rights.

 

Why Choose the Severance Improvement Program™?

Proven Results


We’ve helped thousands of employees recover millions in additional compensation. From junior staff to senior executives, our clients consistently receive settlements far above their original offers.

No Court Necessary


Not everyone wants to fight in court and with our program, you likely won’t have to. We resolve most cases quickly and privately through negotiation, demand letters, or mediation. That means no lawsuits, no court filings, and no public records—just fast, effective results.

We Only Win If You Win


Our fees are contingency based, which means we don’t charge unless we improve your severance package. You’ll never pay upfront legal fees. Our interests are 100 percent aligned with yours from day one.

Strategic Legal Leverage


Employers often rely on fear, confusion, and silence to push through inadequate severance offers. We flip the script. Our team uses employment statutes, human rights codes, disability protections, and precedent setting case law to pressure employers into higher payouts, often without ever filing a claim.

Fast Turnaround Times


We review most severance offers within 24 to 48 hours. From there, negotiations with your employer can begin almost immediately. Most clients achieve a resolution within 1 to 3 months, avoiding the cost and uncertainty of litigation.

Top Rated Legal Team


Randy Ai Law Office is consistently recognized among the top employment law firms in Canada, with hundreds of 5 star Google reviews, media recognition, and a reputation for tough, ethical advocacy.

Why Our Results Are Often Better Than Other Firms

Many law firms follow a standard playbook but we don't. At Randy Ai Law Office, we deliver exceptional outcomes by doing things differently.

Fearless Advocacy


We never back down from a tough employer. Whether you're up against a multinational corporation or a small business, we pursue your rights with relentless determination and zero hesitation.

Strategic Precision


Every case is approached with surgical precision. We don’t just send a letter and hope for the best. We anticipate the employer’s legal moves, tailor our negotiation tactics, and adapt in real time to pressure the other side into fair and sometimes exceptional outcomes.

Client Focused Innovation


We created the Severance Improvement Program™ to focus specifically on maximizing severance without litigation. This refined process consistently yields better, faster, and more cost effective results than traditional legal approaches.

Reputation That Commands Respect


Employers and their lawyers know who we are, and they know we don’t settle for weak offers. Our reputation for getting top dollar settlements often causes the other side to increase their offer before a claim is even filed.

When other firms fall short, our team is often called in to fix it. Many of our clients come to us after a disappointing experience elsewhere, and we regularly exceed what was previously thought possible.

Common Myths That Prevent Employees from Challenging Severance Packages

Too many people accept less than they deserve because of fear, misinformation, or pressure. Here are some of the most common myths we encounter:

Myth: “If I don’t sign this now, I’ll lose the offer.”


Reality: Most severance offers include deadlines, but they are almost always negotiable. Employers often expect pushback, especially from lawyers. We routinely extend deadlines while we negotiate better terms.

Myth: “The company said this is the best they can do.”


Reality: That’s rarely true. Severance packages are almost always negotiable. Employers say this to discourage you from seeking legal advice.

Myth: “I don’t want to burn bridges or seem ungrateful.”


Reality: Asserting your legal rights doesn’t make you aggressive or ungrateful. It makes you informed. Employers are used to legal negotiations and rarely take them personally.

Myth: “The offer follows the Employment Standards Act, so it must be fair.”


Reality: The ESA only sets the bare legal minimum. In most cases, you're entitled to much more under common law—often several months or even a year’s worth of pay.

Myth: “Hiring a lawyer will cost too much.”


Reality: Our program is contingency based, and we offer free consultations. You pay nothing unless we improve your package.
