"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchhill Our Practice Areas
Our condominium law lawyers are a legal team with a breadth of experience in litigation, corporate law and condominium law, and all work together to facilitate providing you the best legal solutions for a condominium corporation. Condominiums are not unlike a fourth level of government requiring democratic fairness, and reasonableness while operating within a balanced budget and a statutory framework. Condominiums are also delicate as they require the management of material assets by a team created by the elected board (and other property management). It is critical that boards and property managers understand the legal parameters surrounding their actions in order for them to operate effectively. We recognize that board of directors are comprised of individuals who care deeply about facilitating the well-being of their community, but who may still need the tools to carry out this mandate. We provide the tools.

| The Invisible Participant |
When mediation is “sold” as a dispute resolution process, we are often told that there is nothing to lose. Highlighted is the chance to participate with the parties you are in conflict with and work together to find a resolution.

In the world of condominium conflict, this is not the case. |
