Construction Law

Our Real Estate Law Group is skilled at drafting, analyzing and negotiating the broad spectrum of agreements required by the architectural, design and construction industry. This includes engineering and architectural contracts, construction management, joint venture agreements, and prime contracts, as well as equipment purchase, design-build contracts and bonding and construction insurance agreements.

Our commercial real estate lawyers have been directly responsible for the preparation of submissions for approval to the Ontario Government for the development of a policy framework for the legal structure, including design, construction & financing, as well as the methodology for selection of a private-sector partner. This included a request for qualifications and a request for a proposal along with the preparation of the financing, capital, ground lease and service documentation to permit the start of construction.

Our ability to draw on the expertise of colleagues practicing in other areas of the law, including tax law and contract law, ensures we are able to meet our clients' needs.
