Defending Your Rights
We provide legal guidance for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional real estate transactions, including purchases, sales, financing, title matters, and closings across Ontario.
We assist individuals, businesses, investors, developers, lenders, and institutions with real estate matters across Ontario. Our services include purchases, sales, refinancing, mortgage financing, title review, due diligence, and development-related property issues. Timelines depend on the transaction and closing requirements, and we can work with you in person or remotely. For consultations, please bring any Agreement of Purchase and Sale, mortgage or financing documents, title records, leases, and relevant property correspondence.
Services
Development and Land Transactions
We assist with development land acquisitions, land assembly, severances, subdivisions, easements, rights-of-way, access agreements, servicing arrangements, and development agreements. Because these transactions often involve zoning, land-use, municipal, and planning considerations, our real estate lawyers work with our Municipal and Planning Law practice where required. This coordinated approach helps identify property and development issues before important conditions or deadlines expire.
Real Estate Financing
We represent borrowers and lenders in residential, commercial, industrial, construction, and development financing transactions. Our services include mortgage preparation and review, refinancing, private mortgages, acquisition financing, title review, corporate searches, guarantees, security documentation, registrations, mortgage payouts, and discharges. We coordinate financing requirements with the underlying property or corporate transaction and provide reporting once the financing has been completed.
Institutional Real Estate Transactions
We provide real estate services to corporations, institutions, not-for-profit organizations, and other property owners throughout Ontario. Our lawyers assist with property acquisitions and dispositions, financing and refinancing, easements, licences, access agreements, land exchanges, redevelopment projects, title matters, and due diligence. We work with clients and their professional advisors to address the legal, operational, and financing requirements of each transaction.
Industrial Real Estate Transactions
We assist clients with the purchase, sale, and financing of industrial land, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, logistics properties, distribution centres, and other properties used by operating businesses. Our work may include agreement review, title investigation, environmental due diligence, financing, easements, access and servicing arrangements, utility matters, and municipal or planning considerations. We approach each property transaction in the context of the client’s broader business objectives.
Commercial Real Estate Transactions
We represent purchasers and sellers in commercial real estate transactions involving office, retail, mixed-use, investment, income-producing, and vacant commercial properties. Our services include drafting and reviewing purchase agreements, negotiating conditions, conducting title and off-title due diligence, reviewing leases and easements, coordinating financing, preparing closing adjustments, and completing registration. Where required, we coordinate the property transaction with related corporate and business matters.
Residential Real Estate Transactions
We assist buyers, sellers, and homeowners with residential purchases, sales, mortgage financing, refinancing, condominium transactions, and mortgage discharges throughout Ontario. Our lawyers review agreements, investigate title, coordinate with lenders, prepare closing documents, calculate adjustments, and register transfers and mortgages. We work to identify legal issues early and ensure that each transaction is properly documented and completed.
