Stop using your 'Work Email' for your 'Work Problems.'

If you’re sensing trouble at work—maybe you’ve been passed over for a promotion since returning from medical leave, or your hours are being squeezed—your first instinct is to email HR from your work computer.

The moment you are terminated, you lose access to that inbox. All your 'proof' of harassment or unfair treatment stays on their server.

Always prioritize keeping a record of your personal documents in a secure location you can access outside of your work account. At Resolute, we live and die by the paper trail—make sure yours is reachable when you need it most.

We assist in securing a fair severance package if you've been wrongfully terminated from your job.

"You don't have to be 'The Perfect Patient' to win your case.

There’s a myth that to win a disability or employment claim, you have to have never missed a doctor’s appointment, never had a bad day, and never said the wrong thing to your boss.

Real life is messier than that. You get frustrated. You forget to take your meds. You send an angry email because you’re stressed about your mortgage. We don't need you to be a saint; we just need you to be honest. Our job is to take the 'messy' reality of your life and translate it into a strategy that the legal system understands.

"We saw a comment recently: 'I hate talking to an AI receptionist.'

We get it. It feels cold. But here is what happens 60 seconds after you hang up with our AI: A human on our intake team gets a perfectly organized summary of your case details.

Because the AI handled the spelling of your name and the important dates related to your case, our team doesn't have to spend your first call doing data entry. Instead, we can spend that time listening to how you’re actually doing and figuring out if we are the right 'machine' to fight for you.

The "Silence" after a termination is usually a strategy.

After you get fired, your former employer might go completely quiet. They don't return emails about your record of employment (ROE) or your final pay. You feel ignored, but they are often just waiting for you to get desperate enough to sign whatever "standard" release they sent you.

Silence is a tool used to build pressure. They know that bills are piling up and you want closure.

The best way to break the silence isn't to send more emotional emails. It’s to show them you have a strategy. Once a Resolute is involved, the conversation shifts from "ignoring a former employee" to "negotiating with a legal professional."

If you walked into our offices expecting a wall of dusty banker boxes or filing cabinets stuffed with paper, you’d be disappointed. However, we do have a different kind of wall—our wall of published books!

The legal industry is famous for using a staggering amount of paper, but at Resolute, we are almost entirely paperless. Most medical records, court filings, and every strategy note is stored in our 'Digital Brain.'

This isn't just about being green, although that is something we are passionate about! It means that whether our team is in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Ontario, they can access your entire file in two clicks. No 'lost in the mail,' no 'misfiled in a cabinet.' Just instant data.

Are you a 'digital only' person, or do you still need a physical notebook to keep your life in order?

"Can I come see you in person?" The answer is no—and here is why that’s good for you.

While Resolute has physical offices, we operate as a modern, online-first law firm. By using Google Meet, electronic signatures, and AI-driven intake, we strip away the "old law" barriers of travel, parking, and waiting rooms.

This gives you instant access to our experts across Atlantic Canada, Ontario, and Alberta right from your own home.

Our technology doesn't replace our people; it empowers them to focus on your strategy instead of paperwork. We aren't just a law firm; we are a modern legal machine built to fight for you.

We believe every worker deserves fairness. No one should face wrongful termination, workplace harassment, or unfair denial of disability benefits.

Meet the 'Junior Associate' you’ll never hear on an intake or client call. 🐶🐾

One of the perks of being an online law firm is that most of our team gets to work alongside their favourite 'assistants.' Whether it’s a golden retriever sleeping under a desk in Halifax or a Pomeranian asking to go outside in New Brunswick, our pets are a huge part of the Resolute culture.

They don't know much about Long-Term Disability or Employment law, but they are experts in making sure our team has a good laugh & takes a deep breath between strategy sessions.

Think your severance offer is fair? It might not be.

Most people only get the legal minimum, but Common Law entitlements are often much higher. Factors like your age and years of service matter more than you think.

Pro-tip: Don’t rush to sign. You have the right to a review.

Are you on a fixed-term contract? (e.g., a 1-year or 2-year agreement)

If your employer ends that contract early, they might owe you the entire remaining balance of the term—not just a few weeks of severance.

The Catch: Many contracts have "termination clauses" designed to block this. But many of those clauses are legally unenforceable.

Don't assume you're only entitled to the minimum.

We assist in securing a fair severance package if you've been wrongfully terminated from your job.
