To be honest, I am not sure what you would be fighting? The company has provided the minimum notice as dictated by the employment standards. I'd be interested to hear what argument these lawyers would be bringing to court?

Actually, the only potential argument that I believe an employee would have is if the company was inconsistent in their application of notice/severance. For example, if some employees were able to negotiate additional time beyond the minimum set out in the code, and others were just provided the minimum. Then, I could see an argument being made based on an inconsistent approach. In that case I could see what you mean.
