Workplace Investigation Services in Toronto, Ontario. Tribunal-tested. Defensible. Locally delivered.
Toronto employers face the highest volume of workplace complaints in Ontario. Whether you're dealing with a harassment allegation at a Bay Street firm, a discrimination complaint at a midsize tech company, or a misconduct investigation at a healthcare facility — you need an independent investigator who understands the legal landscape and can deliver defensible findings fast.
Built for Ontario's legal framework. Not bolted on.
OHSA Bill 168 compliant
Every investigation meets Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act workplace harassment requirements — the standard your Ministry of Labour inspector and HRTO adjudicator already expect.
Ontario Human Rights Code fluency
Discrimination complaints across all protected grounds — race, gender, disability, religion, sexual orientation. Findings reports written to the evidentiary standard the Tribunal uses.
Tribunal-tested methodology
Our process has been examined under cross-examination at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and at arbitration — and held up. We document the way adjudicators read.
40–60% less than law firms
Bay Street firms bill $500–$700/hour for the same investigation work. Our investigators deliver identical evidentiary standards at $200–$350/hour — savings Toronto CFOs notice.
2–6 week turnaround
Most investigations close in two to six weeks. Law firm investigations often run two to six months — their billing model favours hours, not speed. Yours doesn't.
Greater Toronto Area on-the-ground
Toronto employers are subject to both Ontario provincial employment law (ESA, OHSA, Ontario Human Rights Code) and, for federally regulated industries (banks, telecoms, airlines), the Canada Labour Code. The city's proximity to the Human Rights Tribunal at 655 Bay Street means faster scheduling for hearings — and higher scrutiny of investigation quality.
Toronto employers don't need a national firm. They need someone here.
Toronto is Canada's largest employment market, home to the country's Big Five banks, the Toronto Stock Exchange, and a rapidly growing tech corridor that stretches from the Financial District to the MaRS Discovery District. With over 200,000 employers operating under Ontario's Employment Standards Act and Occupational Health and Safety Act, workplace complaints in Toronto span every industry — from Bay Street trading floors to Spadina Avenue startups. The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and Ministry of Labour's main offices are both located in downtown Toronto, making the city the epicentre of employment law enforcement in the province.
