Supreme Court of Canada Overturns BC Court of Appeal on Restrictive Covenants

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tevlin Gleadle Curtis for any legal issues related with employment law. When two co-workers and I were wrongfully dismissed, we consulted and retained this firm.

If not for Tevlin Gleadle Curtis, we would have only received about a quarter of the settlement we were entitled to.
