What brings you here today?
Real-estate law touches nearly every stage of property ownership. Select the scenario that matches your situation, and we will show you exactly how we can help.
Buying or selling a home
From reviewing the offer to purchase through to the notarial deed, we verify title, coordinate with your mortgage lender, and ensure the closing runs without surprises. Our team handles the declaration of co-ownership review for condominiums and manages the adjustment of municipal and school taxes at closing.
Most commonLandlord-tenant dispute
Quebec's Tribunal administratif du logement has specific procedural rules. We prepare your case, draft the required notices, and represent you at hearings — whether you need to recover unpaid rent, contest a lease transfer, or challenge an illegal rent increase.
Residential & commercialTitle or boundary issue
Encroachments, servitudes, and unclear lot lines can freeze a transaction or spark a neighbour conflict. We commission surveys, negotiate voluntary corrections, and, if needed, pursue a declaratory judgment to clarify ownership rights once and for all.
Urgent matters acceptedCommercial lease negotiation
Before you sign a ten-year commercial lease, let us review the tenant improvement clauses, relocation rights, percentage-rent provisions, and default remedies. A few hours of legal review can prevent years of costly obligations.
Construction or renovation lien
Quebec's legal hypothec regime protects contractors and subcontractors — but also imposes strict deadlines. We file, defend, or discharge construction liens within the Civil Code timelines so your project stays on track.
Co-ownership and syndicate matters
Condominium syndicates face unique governance challenges. We advise on by-law amendments, special assessments, insurance obligations, and disputes between co-owners, drawing on deep familiarity with articles 1038–1109 of the Civil Code of Québec.
Why local knowledge matters in Quebec property law
Quebec operates under a civil-law system derived from French law, not the common-law tradition found in the rest of Canada. This means property transactions follow the Civil Code of Québec rather than case-law precedent, and the notarial process replaces the lawyer-supervised closing used elsewhere in the country.
Our advisors live and work in Montréal. We know which boroughs impose special urban-planning restrictions, which mortgage lenders require particular title-insurance endorsements, and how the Régie du bâtiment du Québec regulates construction warranties. That ground-level understanding translates directly into faster closings and fewer post-transaction disputes for our clients.

How a typical engagement unfolds
Every file is different, but most clients follow a similar path from first call to resolution.
Initial conversation
We spend 20–30 minutes understanding your situation, the property involved, and your goals. There is no charge for this call, and no obligation to proceed.
Document collection and review
We request the relevant documents — offer to purchase, title deeds, lease agreements, survey certificates, or syndicate minutes — and perform a thorough legal review.
Strategy and fee estimate
You receive a clear written summary of the issues identified, the recommended course of action, and a transparent fee estimate — flat-rate whenever possible, hourly only when the scope is genuinely unpredictable.
Execution and resolution
We handle the legal work — drafting, negotiating, filing, or appearing — while keeping you informed at every stage. Most residential closings complete within four to six weeks; litigation timelines depend on court scheduling.
