Du Markowitz LLP - Labour & Employment Lawyers

Aggressive Representation
When you fall, don’t get up empty-handed.

Wrongfully-dismissed at age-18 from one of Canada's largest retail clothing chains, Toronto lawyer Howard Markowitz vividly recalls his anger fuelled by employer's unlawful attempt to withhold fair severance compensation.

Streetwise Experience
Winners develop a habit of doing the things that losers don’t like to do.

And while time heals most wounds, Markowitz re-directs his outrage for employment injustice into one of Toronto’s most aggressive wrongful dismissal litigation practices - Du Markowitz LLP - with lawyers teaching the Law Society of Upper Canada’s Bar Admissions course in negotiation strategy, client list including agents of Human Resources Development Canada, and attorneys logging more than 250+ career appearances on Canadian radio empowering the wrongfully-dismissed with streetwise litigation strategy for maximum fair severance package compensation.

Respected in their profession, partners Stephen Du (C.A., LL.B.) and Howard Markowitz (B.Com., LL.B.) have been featured in publications ranging from the Toronto Star to Canadian Lawyer magazine, and television appearances from The Biography Channel to CHEX-TV. Winner of McGill's Scarlet Key, Howard ranked top-10% speaker in North American debate championships at both Harvard and University of Toronto, guest-panelled on CBC Newsworld, guest-speaker on legal employment issues at York University, radio talk-show host and debating coach at his alma mater Osgoode Hall Law School. Former Governor of the University of Waterloo, Stephen's dual LL.B./Chartered Accountant designation stands for optimal tax planning of client settlements to come, and partners additionally serve as counsel to other lawyers on specific areas of wrongful dismissal litigation.

High-Value Results
Those who say something can’t be done should get out of the way of those who are doing it.

Yet despite their real-world knowledge, our lawyers are no ivory-tower academics - well-aware just how few clients can afford uncapped hourly rates, let alone years-long wait to trial and unnecessary Supreme Court appeals.

That's why our lawyers bring earliest-possible leverage to the bargaining table by (1) running our practice from more efficient offices adjacent to Toronto’s $10,000.00 Small Claims Court, (2) charging reasonable fixed-fees inclusive of all court costs and hidden expenses, and (3) by tested court experience for unsurpassed credibility in negotiating your maximum fair severance package compensation.
