Civil Litigation

Our firm is most proud of the situations where we advised people not to sue.

Litigation can erode wealth and result in years of stress and uncertainty. We promise to never encourage litigation that is not in the best interests of you, the client.

We have pushed back certified checks of $50,000 to $100,000 because the solution was not a litigation matter, and we can find alternative solutions that help you win.

But, when you have to sue or respond to a malicious lawsuit, we will be your Samurai for hire.

At Millars Lawyers, we do not dabble in minor squabbles. We win when losing is not an option. You have the litigation team and reputation to carry you through the conflict, so you can get your life back.

Corporate Litigation

A person or company should consider litigation when it makes sense for the individual or business. Sometimes we can help avoid litigation, saving resources and stress by exploring alternatives. Other times, you have no option but to sue to protect your interests and hold guilty parties accountable.
It’s advisable to consult the Millar’s Lawyers Team for expert advice and tailored legal strategies.

Litigation can address disputes such as contractual breaches, shareholder/partnership conflicts, employment issues, intellectual property disputes, commercial transactions, securities violations, regulatory matters, governance disagreements, antitrust concerns, and insurance disputes.

Employment Litigation

Hiring an employment lawyer is recommended when you encounter various situations related to your workplace. If you believe you were wrongfully terminated, face discrimination or harassment, need assistance with employment contract negotiations, or have concerns about wage and hour issues, an employment lawyer can provide valuable guidance. They can also help if you’re dealing with retaliation for asserting your legal rights, need to understand workplace policies, or have issues related to benefits and leave.

Additionally, if you’re part of a union or involved in collective bargaining, seeking legal advice is important.

By enlisting the expertise of an employment lawyer, such as the Millar’s Lawyers Team, you ensure that your rights are upheld and that you receive proper legal counsel tailored to your specific workplace circumstances.

You can claim wrongful dismissal when you believe you were terminated from your job without proper legal justification or in violation of your employment contract. This could involve situations where your employer breaches the terms of your contract, doesn’t provide reasonable notice, or terminates you in a discriminatory or retaliatory manner.

If you suspect you’ve been wrongfully dismissed, consulting an employment lawyer, such as the Millar’s Lawyers Team, can help you understand if you have a valid claim and how to proceed.

Yes, a company can dismiss an employee without warning in certain situations. Employment laws vary by jurisdiction, but generally, employers can terminate employees without prior notice in cases of serious misconduct, violation of company policies, illegal activities, or performance issues that are severe and immediate. However, laws might require employers to provide compensation or pay in lieu of notice, depending on the circumstances.

If you’re unsure about the legality of your dismissal, consulting an employment lawyer, like the Millar’s Lawyers Team, can provide clarity on your specific situation and rights.

Whether you receive severance when you’re fired depends on various factors, including employment laws, your employment contract, and the reason for your termination. In many cases, severance pay is provided to employees who are let go, especially if they’ve been with the company for a certain duration or if it’s outlined in their contract.

Consulting an employment lawyer, such as the Millar’s Lawyers Team, can help you understand if you’re entitled to severance and the amount you might be eligible for based on your specific circumstances.

Real Estate Litigation

Real estate litigation involves legal disputes related to property matters, such as ownership, contracts, boundaries, and title issues.

You might consider real estate litigation when facing disputes over property transactions, contracts, boundary disputes, lease disagreements, or title issues.

Real estate litigation covers cases involving property purchase/sale disputes, landlord-tenant conflicts, construction defects, boundary line disputes, and zoning issues.

Common grounds include breach of contract, fraud, non-disclosure, misrepresentation, and disagreements over property boundaries or rights.

The timeline varies based on case complexity. Some cases settle quickly, while others might take several months or even years.

Research reputable law firms, read reviews, and consult attorneys to find one experienced in real estate litigation, like the Millar’s Lawyers Team.

Mass Torts & Class Action

A class action is a legal process where a group of people with similar claims collectively bring a lawsuit against a defendant. It streamlines cases involving multiple plaintiffs facing the same issues.

To become part of a class action lawsuit, follow a few key steps. 

  1. Confirm whether you meet the criteria for the class. 
  2. Stay informed about the case through notifications or advertisements. 
  3. Get in touch with the law firm representing the class and follow their guidance. Depending on jurisdiction and specifics, formally opt in or out of the class action.

You can file a class action lawsuit when you and a group of individuals have similar claims against a common defendant.

Consult legal professionals, like the Millar’s Lawyers Team, to determine if your situation is suitable for a class action.

Mass tort litigation and regular lawsuits each have benefits. Advantages of mass torts include efficiency, strength in numbers, lower costs, consistency, expertise, and fairness.

Consulting legal professionals, like the Millar’s Lawyers Team, can help you understand which approach suits your situation best.

The Millars Law team has won many high profile cases others thought unwinnable. When your life is on the line and you didn’t do it there is only one team that will use every resource available to win.
