About Perks Law Group

Perks Law Group is a small Toronto firm that concentrates on employment law and business law. It represents both employees and employers in workplace matters, including wrongful and constructive dismissal, severance negotiation, and human rights and harassment complaints, and it advises business owners on incorporation, shareholder agreements, mergers and acquisitions, and succession planning. The firm is run by principal lawyer Carter G. Perks out of an office at First Canadian Place on King Street West, in Toronto's Financial District, where clients are seen by appointment.

Perks earned a B.A. (Hons.) in Law from Carleton University in 2016 and an LL.B. from the University of Leeds in England in 2018, then was admitted to the Ontario Bar in 2020. The practice has since covered both Toronto and Ottawa, with a business side that structures and negotiates deals for private companies and an employment side that works both directions, for people who have been let go and for the small and medium sized businesses managing them. The firm says it uses cloud-based law firm software to improve the client experience, protect client information, and keep costs down.

The neighbourhood

Perks Law Group's office is in First Canadian Place, a 72 storey tower at the corner of King Street West and Bay Street. The building was Canada's tallest office tower from 1975 until 2025, and it still sits at the west end of Toronto's Financial District, connected into the underground PATH network and home to the Bank of Montreal's head office. Perks Law Group meets clients there by appointment, which fits a practice built around phone calls, email, and scheduled meetings for employment and business matters rather than walk-in visits.
