About David Hager

David Hager runs an independent employment law practice from an office in First Canadian Place on King Street West in downtown Toronto. Hager was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1976, after a B.A. in Honours Economics (1971) and a J.D. (1974), both from the University of Toronto. From 1981 to 2013, Hager was a partner at Lang Michener LLP and its successor firm, McMillan LLP, and chaired the firm's Employment and Labour Law Group from 1999 to 2008.

Since then, the practice has focused on wrongful and constructive dismissal, severance packages, employment contracts, and shareholder disputes, including oppression remedy claims under Ontario's and Canada's business corporations legislation. Hager has presented employment law papers for the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Ontario Bar Association, The Board of Trade, Federated Press, and Lorman Education Services, and received Martindale-Hubbell's BV Distinguished peer review rating every year from 1999 to 2021 for ethical standards and professional ability. The practice serves clients across the GTA and southern Ontario.
