Real Estate Litigation

We recognize the deeply personal and invaluable nature of property ownership. With extensive experience serving as legal advisors to real estate practitioners, property owners, and individuals, we specialize in addressing a wide range of issues related to property disputes.

 

Our expertise encompasses ownership disputes, purchase and sale agreements, contract interpretation, failed transaction disputes, boundary conflicts, constructive trusts, land development agreements, deposit issues, and various other aspects of real property law. In urgent situations, we are well-equipped to handle injunctions, certificates of pending litigation, and other time-sensitive remedies to protect your interests.

Difficult Transactions

Navigating and negotiating resolutions for property transactions facing uncertainty. Our primary focus is on ensuring your transaction completes as scheduled and as negotiated. We are regularly retained to 'drop in' and salvage those transactions which have veered off path.

Title Defects & Remediation

We work regularly with title insurance companies, practising lawyers, and individuals to resolve and remediate defects in title, solicitor errors or omissions, and reverse inadvertent merger of titles.   

Forfeiture of Deposits

We represent sellers who are focused on pursuing deposits from a failed real estate transaction, and buyers who are looking for relief from forfeiture of deposits in extenuating circumstances. 

Real Estate Agents 

Pursuing or defending legal actions against real estate agents and brokers for negligence or breach of fiduciary duty. Enforcement of Buyer Representation Agreements or Listing Agreements. 

Injunctions and Preservation

Bringing and responding to injunctions or preservation motions aimed at restraining and preserving property, assets, or otherwise on urgent bases.

Title Insurance 

We work regularly with title insurance providers to remediate solicitor errors or negligence and restore marketability to individual homeowners. We are retained by individual property owners looking to submit title insurance claims who require assistance in navigating the complexities of one of the most critical insurance policies in Ontario.
