Primary Areas of Practice

Real Estate

Our lawyers have extensive experience representing clients in all types of real estate matters, such as purchases, sales, mortgages, and lease agreements.

If you are buying, selling, or mortgaging your home or other property, our law firm would be happy to represent you.

Wills & Estates

Having a properly drafted Will and Powers of Attorney will ensure that your assets will be administered and distributed exactly how you intended, and will avoid the risk of hardship, confusion, and family dispute upon your death or mental incapacity. Our lawyers have the knowledge and experience to assist you in creating an estate plan that reflects your desired outcome in any potential situation. If you would like to create or update your Wills and Powers of Attorney, please contact us to set up an appointment with one of our three lawyers.

If a loved one or relative has recently passed away and you are seeking legal advice or representation regarding the deceased’s property or the administration of their estate, our lawyers have the experience and knowledge to assist you in these matters.

Business & Corporate

Your investment in your business is too important to leave to chance. Our lawyers provide many local businesses with various legal services, such as incorporation, corporate reorganization and restructuring, asset or share purchases and sales, business succession planning, commercial leases, shareholder agreements, and commercial real estate matters.

Family

Marriage and divorce are events that can have a profound effect on your life. We can advise you of your rights and obligations in the event of marriage breakdown and assist you with resolving the issues which arise out of separation, including custody and access of children, support, and division of your matrimonial assets. We can also advise you with respect to pre-marriage planning and the benefits of a negotiating and entering into a domestic contract before you get married.
