Nextstep Law was founded to help individuals in Toronto move forward with clarity and dignity after being let go, laid off, or mistreated at work. We believe no one should face a legal system they don’t understand — especially alone.
Led by Sentil Thomson, a Toronto employment lawyer with boutique experience in workplace disputes, mental health claims, and severance strategy at a leading downtown Toronto employment law firm. We bring a people-first approach to everything we do, leaving no stone unturned.
No legal jargon. Just straight talk, and good advice.
Centred on employment law and related impacts.
We meet you with respect, not judgement.
No win, no fee. You don’t pay until there’s a settlement.
Absolutely not. You may have more leverage than you think, and it’s imperative that it be reviewed without delay.
We offer contingency-fee options — so you only pay if we win.
You may be facing constructive dismissal. We’ll help you assess it.
Employment law timelines can be consequential. Before you do anything talk to us as soon as possible, or you may prejudice your rights and sabotage settlement sums that are owing.
Yes. You may be protected under the Human Rights Code or the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
It’s a limited suspension of employment, but extended layoffs may be treated as terminations. Know your ESA rights.
It’s free, confidential, and focused on giving you clarity to inform and empower your next step.
