About Taylor and Mergui (TMPI)

One of the highest-rated law firms in North York, going by its Google reviews.

Taylor and Mergui, which does business as Taylor Mergui Personal Injury Lawyers (TMPI), is a Toronto law firm headquartered in North York with a second office in Scarborough. Co-founder and managing partner Michael Taylor holds a B.A. and is an LL.M. candidate, and has practiced tort and accident benefits law for more than 25 years. Co-founder and senior partner Golan Mergui earned a B.A. in psychology from McGill University and an LL.B., cum laude, from the University of Ottawa, and has spent over 24 years representing accident victims, litigating more than 1,000 cases involving motor vehicle collisions, long term disability, medical malpractice, and slip and falls.

The firm has grown to a team of about 20 lawyers split across partners, senior associates, and associates. Its website says it has served more than 10,000 clients across Canada and that its staff bring over 200 collective years of legal experience. Beyond personal injury work such as motor vehicle accidents, dog bites, and disability benefit disputes, the firm practices employment law, immigration law, and class actions, and represents clients on a contingency fee basis, meaning they don't pay unless the case succeeds.

Milestones & recognition

  • In February 2026, the firm expanded a class action against a security staffing contractor, the City of Toronto, and the Toronto Transit Commission to $32 million, alleging that hundreds of frontline security workers were paid irregularly or off the books and denied overtime and holiday pay owed under the Employment Standards Act.
  • In March 2026, the firm won on all ten disputed issues at the Licence Appeal Tribunal for a client, overturning an insurer's Minor Injury Guideline designation and reinstating full funding for physiotherapy and psychological, neurological, and orthopaedic assessments.

The neighbourhood

The firm's head office is in York University Heights, a North York neighbourhood built up around York University and Seneca College with large Italian, Chinese, Black, South Asian, and Filipino communities, and about two kilometres from Finch West subway station. It's a fitting base for a firm whose practice includes immigration law alongside personal injury, employment, and class action work, and its North York office says it serves clients across the whole Greater Toronto Area rather than just this one neighbourhood.

The Scarborough office sits in L'Amoreaux, a similarly diverse, mostly residential part of the city's east end where roughly two thirds of residents are immigrants, many from China, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. The firm describes this office as serving clients on Toronto's east side specifically, splitting the two locations by geography rather than running one as a satellite of the other.
