Support staff in the Toronto office say that they did not get a termination notice until nine days after the practice said that it was closing. It claimed that it would run 'an orderly wind down'. However, some staff are saying that they were left in the dark about timing and about their payoff packages. 

'Not a labour lawyer'

One member of staff describes how a former insolvency partner had a meeting with staff: 'All he told us was his side of the story, how things fell apart. And when people were pressing him and asking him about severance, he goes, ‘I’m not a labour lawyer.’ People were so pissed off. They were like, ‘Well, why didn’t you get a labour lawyer to come and answer these questions?’…I can tell you there were a lot of angry people there.' Source: Law Times
