Real Estate Law


REAL ESTATE LEGAL SERVICES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY.

 

We have experience with a wide variety of residential and commercial real estate
matters, some of which include...

 

 


SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES


EXCEPTIONAL LEGAL EXPERIENCE

Each year, we assist hundreds of clients to make one of the most important
transactions of their lives—buying a home. Whether you are a first-time or
experienced buyer, we can help. We can also accommodate you with appointments
outside regular business hours. If you would like to learn more about real
estate legal fees, click here.


INVESTMENT


RENOVATION, RESALE, & DEVELOPMENT

We will work with you on the analysis, agreement of purchase and sale, and due
diligence, so you can assess the value of the investment and negotiate terms in
your best interest. (Click here for articles on this topic.)

 


MULTI-UNIT


FROM DUPLEXES TO APARTMENT BUILDINGS

When it comes to multi-unit properties, protecting clients from the downside and
strengthening the upside is our focus. We review residential tenancy act
considerations, as well as code and zoning issues to maximize reward.


INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL


FOR THE END USER & INVESTOR

We examine Return On Investment as it relates to the state of the tenancies. We
also advise on the handling of potential environmental issues, lender
negotiations, and protection through title insurance. Further, we examine Net
Operating Income as it relates to transaction terms, with a view to
understanding the financials and managing risk. (Click here for articles on this
topic.)

Business Law


BUSINESS FROM START TO FINISH.

 

Whether you are starting, buying, or selling a business, our
corporate-commercial lawyers and staff can meet your needs. We can provide the
following services, and more.

 

 


LEGAL CONTRACTS


CLIENT FOCUSED NEGOTIATION

At every step in the process, our lawyers endeavour to use negotiation
to facilitate an agreement in line with client goals and interests. In other
words, we can assist in getting the deal done properly, without getting in the
way. 


SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENTS


AVOIDING COMMON ISSUES

We work to go beyond the boiler-plate agreement terms to achieve the client's
real business purposes, and to avoid an agreement that creates problems down the
road. 

 


CORPORATE REORGANIZATIONS


COOPERATING WITH ACCOUNTANTS

We work closely with the accountants to produce documents quickly in order to
meet the deadlines that always apply to reorganizations. Our focus is to get the
documents done correctly, on time, and at a reasonable price. 


ASSET/SHARE TRANSACTIONS


MINIMUM INTERFERENCE

Whether acting for the buyer or the seller, our aim is to promote a smooth
transaction in which our client retains control of what is done and when; we
manage closing no more than is needed to accomplish that goal. 

Estate Law


PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. PROTECT YOUR ASSETS. 

 

We can guide you through a difficult process. Some of the estate legal services
we offer are...

 

 


POWER OF ATTORNEY & WILLS


HELPING YOU PLAN

We help you decide who can make important decisions in the event you become
incapacitated, and to plan for the inevitable transfer of your property.  


TRUSTS


KEEP CONTROL & REDUCE COSTS

Our goal is to assist you in maintaining control of your assets, while reducing
income tax and probate fees. 

 


ESTATE ADMINISTRATION


HELPING YOU TO AVOID DELAY

We will guide you through the complexities of the probate process so that assets
can be distributed to the beneficiaries without undue delay. 


SALE OF ESTATE ASSETS


STRUCTURING THE SALE

We make recommendations as to the terms and structure of the transaction, ensure
that closing dates are met, and seek to minimize liability for the estate, while
focused on the earliest distribution of assets. 

Family Law


MOVE FORWARD, AFFORDABLY.

 

We offer family law services for clients on a budget, who prefer collaborative
agreements over spending thousands in court. Some of the solutions we offer
include…

 

 


COHABITATION & MARRIAGE


AFFORDABLE AGREEMENTS

You may never need it, but when you’re on the same page as your partner, it’s a
good time to decide what would be fair if you ever choose to part ways.
Cohabitation and Marriage agreements can result in the fair arrangement of your
assets—especially when moving on to the next chapter of your life, and when
there are children involved. We can help you prepare for the future, so you can
focus on the present, and each other.


LIMITED SCOPE REPRESENTATION


“STEP-BY-STEP” LEGAL SERVICES

You don’t need to retain an expensive, full-time lawyer for a family law issue.
With Limited Scope Representation (or “Legal Coaching”), you can retain a lawyer
for only the services you need, while you do what you can yourself. Some of the
“piecemeal” services we offer are: legal advice and procedure assistance, legal
research and analysis, reviewing and drafting court documents for you to file
and serve, evaluating settlement options, and ILA (Independent Legal Advice).
Contact us to see if we can meet your legal needs.

 


SEPARATION & DIVORCE


MOVING ON, ON A BUDGET

First, we’ll listen. Then, we’ll suggest strategies to defuse any tension and
promote objective thinking—to lead to an expedited conclusion. Many people
(especially after a long relationship) are deeply hurt, and spend years, and
thousands of dollars, before realizing that there are no winners in a legal
“contest” fuelled by emotion. Our separation and divorce services deal with the
division of property, child and spousal support, custody, and access—providing
clarity for the future in the least adversarial way possible. We don’t go to
court (we refer to experienced trial lawyers, in that case), so we take a
collaborative approach among parties. We have no incentive to do legal “battle”
while you foot the bill.


COLLABORATIVE LAW


PROBLEM SOLVING THROUGH PARTICIPATION

In Collaborative Law, the parties themselves are in control of coming to a fair,
agreed-upon resolution that works for them. This approach provides a safe
environment to develop ideas and seek satisfactory resolutions, which can result
in a negotiated settlement, rather than a litigated one. Collaboration is a
means to achieve a result that works for your family, without having third-party
representatives make lasting decisions for you. For more information on
Collaborative Law, click here.
