From straightforward title searches to complex expropriation defence, our team handles every facet of property law across Quebec. Each engagement begins with a thorough assessment of your situation, followed by a tailored strategy designed to achieve the best possible outcome with minimal disruption to your life or business.
Residential conveyancing
We manage every step of your home purchase or sale — drafting and reviewing deeds of sale, conducting title examinations, coordinating with notaries, and ensuring a smooth transfer of ownership. Our conveyancing process is designed to catch potential issues early so you can close with confidence. We also handle mortgage-related documentation and liaise with lending institutions on your behalf to streamline the financing process.
Commercial leasing
Negotiating a commercial lease requires attention to renewal clauses, tenant improvement allowances, subletting rights, and exit strategies. We draft and review lease agreements that protect landlords and tenants alike, ensuring compliance with Quebec's Civil Code and municipal regulations. Our lawyers also advise on build-to-suit arrangements and net-lease structures that align with your business objectives.
Title disputes and boundary issues
Encroachments, overlapping surveys, and unregistered servitudes can threaten your property rights. Our litigation team investigates title defects, engages land surveyors, and represents you before the Superior Court of Quebec when negotiation fails. We pursue resolutions that preserve the value of your property while minimising legal costs and time spent in court.
Expropriation defence
When a government body seeks to expropriate your land, you deserve fair compensation and rigorous procedural scrutiny. We challenge inadequate offers, retain independent appraisers, and advocate for your rights before the Administrative Tribunal of Quebec. Our track record includes obtaining compensation packages that far exceed initial government offers, ensuring property owners receive the true market value of their holdings.
Zoning and land-use planning
Navigating municipal zoning by-laws, variance applications, and environmental assessments is essential for any development project. We advise developers, homeowners, and institutional clients on permissible uses, density regulations, and the process for obtaining derogations. Our proactive approach helps clients avoid costly delays and ensures projects proceed on schedule.
Co-ownership and condominiums
Quebec's divided co-ownership regime carries unique obligations for syndicates and unit owners. We draft declarations of co-ownership, advise on special assessments, mediate disputes between co-owners, and represent syndicates in enforcement actions. Whether you are forming a new condominium or managing an existing one, we ensure compliance with articles 1038 through 1109 of the Civil Code.
