In this employment law (wrongful dismissal) matter we represented an equities trader that had worked for her entire career in Vancouver trading Canadian equities for institutional clients.
When her employer decided to relocate the Vancouver office to San Francisco, she decided that she did not want to move and raise her young family in the United States. Her employer closed the Vancouver office and refused to pay her any severance.
The Court found that she was not obligated to move to San Francisco to keep her job and awarded wrongful dismissal damages of roughly $625,000.
