Free consultationAbout Hunter Employment Law
Hunter Employment Law is a solo employment law practice in downtown Toronto, founded by Daniel J. Hunter. The practice represents both employees and employers, and its work centres on wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, and termination for cause, along with workplace harassment and discrimination and human rights complaints. It also negotiates severance and separation packages for departing employees. On wrongful dismissal, the firm explains that notice of termination, or pay in lieu of notice, depends on an employee's years of service, compensation, position, and how available comparable work is in the market, and that termination for cause is only available to an employer in narrow, unusual circumstances.
Before starting the firm, Hunter practiced at a Toronto labour and employment litigation firm and worked in house providing employment law services to a major Canadian retail brand. The office is in First Canadian Place at 100 King Street West, on the corner of King and Bay in Toronto's Financial District.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits on a high floor of First Canadian Place, at the northwest corner of King and Bay streets in Toronto's Financial District. Completed in 1975, the tower is the global operational executive office of the Bank of Montreal, one of Canada's oldest financial institutions, and for decades it was the tallest building in the country. It connects directly into the city's underground PATH network, so clients coming from other downtown office towers can reach it without going outside. It's a corporate downtown address rather than a neighbourhood storefront, in a district built around the head offices of banks and other large employers, the kind of employer many of the firm's clients work for or are in disputes with.
Frequently asked questions
- I was let go from my job without much notice or severance. Can Hunter Employment Law help me figure out if I got a fair deal?
- Yes. The firm's practice includes wrongful dismissal, and it explains that notice of termination, or pay in lieu of notice, depends on an employee's years of service, compensation, position, and how much comparable work is available. It represents employees pursuing a fair severance package as well as employers responding to a dismissal claim.
- My employer cut my pay, changed my role, or moved my workplace without asking. Is that constructive dismissal?
- Hunter Employment Law's practice covers constructive dismissal, which can include a cut in compensation, a demotion, a change in schedule or location, a toxic work environment, or a denied request for workplace accommodation. The firm advises employees on whether a change like this amounts to a fundamental breach of the employment relationship.
- I'm an employer and I think I have grounds to terminate an employee for cause. Can the firm advise me?
- Yes, Hunter Employment Law acts for employers as well as employees, and it advises on dismissal for cause. The firm notes that the circumstances that let an employer terminate for cause are exceedingly rare, so getting advice before acting can matter.
- I'm dealing with harassment or discrimination at work. Does Hunter Employment Law handle human rights complaints?
- Yes. The firm's practice includes workplace harassment and discrimination on protected grounds, covering decisions around hiring, firing, promotion, wages, and scheduling, along with human rights complaints more generally.
