Dispute Resolution and Advocacy

Commercial tenancies can involve many problems such as non-payment, failure to vacate, failure to comply with obligations either by tenant or landlord, disputes at the end of tenancies or negotiations to change the arrangements for the tenancy. Real estate disputes can encompass a wide variety of legal issues including ownership, adverse possession, failures to disclose defects, title insurance coverage, warranty issues, construction defects, and problems with neighbours or neighbouring properties.
