Mina R. Khalil, lawyer and principal, heads MRK Law P.C., a boutique law firm with deep roots in Peel and Halton Region, servicing clients all over Ontario. Mina prides himself on finding efficient, practical, and cost-effective solutions to his clients’ problems. Equally comfortable in the board room and the court room, Mina relies on his wealth of experience as a lawyer and serial entrepreneur to negotiate timely and satisfactory resolutions for clients. When the time calls for it, however, Mina is a tenacious litigator willing to take matters through to trial.

​

As a Mississauga criminal defence lawyer, Mina is a firm believer that everyone deserves a second chance, and that people can change for the better. He relies on this overarching philosophy when he is defending clients facing criminal charges. He works vigorously to review disclosure, fill in the missing gaps, and craft the best possible defence for his client. Where appropriate, Mina will negotiate with the crown to have charges stayed or withdrawn, or enter into plea deals that help clients limit or avoid incarceration. Mina accepts legal aid certificates for most criminal matters.  

​

Mina also has extensive experience in civil litigation and dispute resolution, with a particular emphasis on employment disputes, real estate disputes, and commercial disputes.  He often represents both employees and employers in workplace litigation and dispute resolution, including constructive and wrongful dismissal, termination for cause, and discrimination and human rights violations. He has also been instrumental in tactfully resolving many shareholder and partnership disputes, commercial lease disputes, and business related disputes for his clients. 

 Mina's barrister experience as a litigator gives him a different perspective when assisting clients with transactional matters. This allows him to anticipate potential pitfalls and take a proactive approach when drafting contracts or closing deals. He has experience acting for and advising corporations and business owners on corporate formations and structuring, including the formation of professional corporations, corporate governance, drafting and negotiating a variety of shareholder agreements and contracts, mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, business succession and estate planning, employment matters, dispute resolution, and providing ongoing general legal advice.

​

He has also represented first time home buyers, sophisticated real estate investors, corporations, and institutional and private lenders in closing a high volume of residential and commercial purchase, sale, and mortgage transactions. On estate planning matters, he is adept at preparing wills and powers of attorney, advises estate trustees on their duties, and assists with applications for certificates of appointments as estate trustees.

​

When Mina is not busy preparing for court, resolving a dispute, closing deals or negotiating contracts, he enjoys his time with his wife and two children, watching the Toronto Raptors, playing pickup basketball, or weight lifting at his local gym
