EXCELLENT Based on 38 reviews Posted on Julie BurnettApril 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Filip Szarduski throughout my academic and professional career. You will never meet a lawyer who can mediate a situation with an employer, or set your business up for success and clarity like Fil can. He is mindful of potential risks for litigation and provides excellent preventative counsel. He sets clear expectations around what he will be able to help with, and when it is important to consult to prevent future legal issues. Fil gives clear advice and works with you to reduce your billable hours wherever possible and believes in access to justice for the average person. His training as a social worker compliments his law degree beautifully and his brilliance shines through in his work with his clients; it helps that he is a big big law and policy nerd. 🤓 I cannot endorse his work enough and look forward to see what else he does with his career at Spring Law!Posted on Todd CharleboisMarch 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From onbaording through the entire process, Springlaw and particularly Fil Szadurski provided responsive, knowledgeable, proactive and balanced council that was immeasurably valuable in navigating a complex scenario. They care about all parties and it shows in everything they do. You would be fortunate to have them as your advocate.Posted on Darel SimpsonJanuary 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was treated with respect. My case was reviewed with an honest appraisal of my exit package, and I was kept in the loop at all times.Posted on David TJanuary 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Smart, thorough and friendly: I was so surprised and nervous after charges were brought against me. When I finally got over the shock I did some research about OSHA charges and found Filip Szadurski. He is an expert in this area and was quick to asses the difficulty of my case and develop a comprehensive strategy for my defense. The result was great and I'm relieved. Thanks to Fil and his team at Springlaw, I highly recommend.Posted on Patricia PariseauJune 27, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I'm extremely grateful for Tiffany and the team at SpringLaw. She helped me navigate a challenging time in my career, and helped me understand some of the complexities around employment law. I appreciated her advice, her explanations, and that she treated me like a person the entire time. I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone to Tiffany and SpringLaw.Posted on nelly dierickxMay 17, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been a great experience working with SpringLaw. First time that our legal matters are all done in a virtual manner, it is all very efficient, definitely exceeded our expectations. Having Filip Szadurski as our lawyer was exceptional! He is professional, empathetic and doesn’t waste time. We are very happy with the outcome of our case. We highly recommend this firm.Posted on Arduino GalipoMarch 3, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. GreatPosted on Graham Gould MauleAugust 3, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed a quick turnaround on a complex employment offer involving cross-border entities and remote work. SpringLaw came through and Matt Chapman did an amazing job walking me through the risks and opportunities within the employment contract, often on short notice and with late evening appointments. The virtual nature of the firm is very convenient with all appointments, billing statements, and review sessions occurring virtually. Couldn’t be happier with their service.
“Spring Law has provided our firm with exceptional client service. Response times are quick and the entire team is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The firm is a wonderful resource for our HR department. I would highly recommend their services.”
Jessyca Greenwood, who oversaw my case file, proved to be as attentive and resolute throughout the process as she did during our initial interview. When we faced complications, she went above any expectations I had of her and was very generous with her time.
Legal issues are rarely, if ever, pleasant to deal with but Jessyca and her team were very supportive and understanding. We reached a positive resolution and my only regret was the inability to meet in person, due to COVID restrictions.
I cannot recommend Jessyca and her firm enough.”
“I had a great experience with SpringLaw. Lisa Stamm and her team were a pleasure to work with; I found them friendly, reliable, and professional. I felt that I was well represented and was very happy with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend SpringLaw to anyone looking for advice on workplace legal issues.”
