Ball Professional Corporation is a Toronto employment and labour law firm led by Stacey Reginald Ball, who has practiced employment and labour law for more than 35 years. Ball is admitted to the bar in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia and represents both employees and employers in wrongful and constructive dismissal, severance, workplace discrimination, and related disputes.
Ball has appeared as counsel in several employment cases decided by the Supreme Court of Canada, including Machtinger v. HOJ Industries Ltd. (1992), Wallace v. United Grain Growers Ltd. (1997), Wilson v. Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (2016), and Matthews v. Ocean Nutrition Canada Ltd. (2020). Ball also wrote Canadian Employment Law, a treatise published by Thomson Reuters (Canada Law Book) that has been cited in approximately 300 cases by courts in every Canadian province and by the Supreme Court of Canada. Ball has taught as adjunct faculty at Osgoode Hall Law School and the University of Western Ontario's law faculty, and formerly edited two Thomson Reuters employment law publications, Canadian Cases on Employment Law and The Dismissal and Employment Law Digest.

The neighbourhood
The firm's main office at 82 Scollard Street sits in Yorkville, roughly bounded by Bloor Street, Davenport Road, Yonge Street, and Avenue Road. The building itself is a designated heritage property within the Yorkville Hazelton Heritage Conservation District. ACO Toronto's building record describes it as a former detached house now used for commercial purposes, similar to other converted houses that still line several of Yorkville's smaller streets north of Bloor alongside art galleries, ground floor retail, and restaurants.
The firm's second address, at 250 Yonge Street, is used for client consultations rather than as a working office.
