Toronto employment lawyers,
in your corner.
Mirza Law protects what you're owed with deep experience, careful strategy, and steady advocacy.
Severance,
without the squeeze.Wrongful dismissal, for-cause accusations, severance offers with a Friday deadline — employers count on you not knowing what you're owed. We make sure the offer reflects the law, not their template.
Your job,
without the rewrite.Pay cuts, demotions, return-to-office ultimatums, quiet firing, sudden hour changes — employers hope you'll just go along. We treat unilateral changes for what they are: severance.
Protection,
without the pushback.Bullying, discrimination, retaliation for speaking up, poisoned work environments — workplaces hope you'll quietly move on. We make sure the conduct gets answered for.
Employment lawyers for Toronto
Mirza Law is a Toronto employment and disability law firm. We represent employees who have been fired, laid off, pushed out, or denied the severance they were owed, and people whose long-term disability benefits have been denied or cut off by their insurer.
Across the city
Our office is in Toronto and we work with clients from downtown to North York, Etobicoke, and the east end, by phone, video, and email.
Direct to your lawyer
You deal with your lawyer, not a call centre, and never have to take time off or travel while you are dealing with a job loss or a health crisis.
Contingency on most files
There is no cost to find out where you stand, and on those files you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Superior Court of Justice for Toronto sits at 330 University Avenue.
Small Claims Court for Toronto sits at 47 Sheppard Avenue East.
- Banking
Banks are federally regulated, so the Canada Labour Code applies instead of the ESA, and a non-union, non-managerial employee with a year of service has 90 days to choose an unjust dismissal complaint instead of a lawsuit.
- Financial services and insurance
Bonus, commission and deferred compensation are usually the largest part of the claim, and the question is what the plan documents say about payment through the notice period.
- Technology
Options and RSUs that would have vested during the notice period are usually part of the claim, plan wording that tries to cut them off is read narrowly, and contractor labels are tested against how the work was actually done.
- Hospitals and healthcare
Much of the workforce is unionized, which sends the dismissal to the grievance process rather than the courts and leaves the Human Rights Tribunal open for discrimination claims.

There's a better way
through your case.
Severance recovered from:
What they offered is rarely
what you're owed.
Employers usually offer the statutory minimum — one week per year of service. Common law entitlements are often much higher: months of pay, sometimes more than a year. We review what you've been offered, then negotiate for what you're actually owed.
Always know where
your case stands.
Peace of mind is part of the work. Reach out anytime by email, phone, or text, and you'll hear back from the lawyer handling your case.
Everything from where you are to
what comes next
A consultation with direction
We want to hear what happened, and then tell you honestly where you stand and what's possible. By video or phone, on your schedule.
A lawyer in your corner
We handle the calls, the paperwork, and the pressure from the other side. You work directly with me, not a paralegal pipeline. Your job is to focus on your life.
The result you're owed
We pursue the full compensation the law and your contract entitle you to, so you can close this chapter and move forward.
