About Mint Law Professional Corporation
Mint Expropriation Law is a small Toronto firm, with a second office in Vaughan, that limits its practice to one area: representing property owners when a government authority moves to acquire their land. It was founded in 2020 with a stated single purpose, protecting property owners against the full weight of a government authority in an expropriation. The firm's team built its earlier careers working alongside expropriating authorities, the government bodies that initiate and drive these takings, and it says that background now shapes how it reads an authority's case file and where a compensation offer tends to fall short.
The firm acts only for property owners and says it never acts for the expropriating authorities themselves. Its work covers highway and road expansions, transit corridors and LRT projects, pipeline and utility easements, and municipal infrastructure projects, along with partial takings, injurious affection claims, and business loss and disturbance claims. Cases that can't be settled through negotiation go to the Ontario Land Tribunal, and the firm represents clients there as well as at the earlier hearing of necessity stage. It takes on property owners across Ontario, from Toronto and Hamilton to Ottawa, Windsor, and rural townships, not only clients close to its two GTA offices.

The neighbourhood
Mint Expropriation Law's head office is on Jarvis Street in downtown Toronto, in the same downtown core as the Ontario Land Tribunal's Bay Street offices, the tribunal that decides an expropriation case when it can't be settled through negotiation. The firm keeps a second office in Vaughan, in the northwest part of the Greater Toronto Area. It's fair to call the Vaughan location a satellite rather than a second headquarters, since the firm describes itself as based in Toronto.
Frequently asked questions
- I just received a Notice of Application to Expropriate. What should I do?
- You have 30 days from being served to request a hearing of necessity, so it helps to get advice quickly. Mint Expropriation Law reviews the notice and the expropriating authority's documentation at no cost and can help you decide whether to request the hearing.
- Does Mint Expropriation Law ever act for the government or a municipality?
- No. The firm represents only property owners facing expropriation and says it never acts for the expropriating authorities on the other side of a case.
- Is the market value of my property the only compensation I can claim?
- No. Under Ontario's Expropriations Act, an owner can also claim injurious affection (a loss in value to any remaining land), disturbance damages such as moving expenses, special value the property holds for the owner, and, where a business operates from the property, business losses including lost profits and relocation costs.
- Will I have to pay my own legal fees if I hire Mint Expropriation Law?
- The Expropriations Act generally requires the expropriating authority to pay an owner's reasonable legal and appraisal costs, win or lose, and the firm offers a free, confidential consultation with no upfront cost.
- I'm not in Toronto. Does Mint Expropriation Law still take cases outside the GTA?
- Yes. The firm represents property owners across Ontario, including Hamilton, Caledon, Ottawa, Windsor, and rural townships, working out of its Toronto and Vaughan offices.
- What kinds of projects usually lead to an expropriation?
- Highway and road expansions, transit corridors and LRT projects, pipeline and utility easements, and municipal infrastructure projects are among the most common triggers, along with partial takings that leave an owner with reduced land.
