From first call to final signature

Initial consultation

We begin with a focused conversation — by phone, video, or in person — to understand your situation, goals, and timeline. There is no obligation and no jargon. We explain what legal work is actually needed and provide a transparent fee estimate before any engagement begins.

Research and due diligence

Our team conducts thorough title searches, reviews municipal and provincial registries, examines survey plans, and identifies any encumbrances, servitudes, or zoning restrictions that could affect your property. We flag potential problems early so there are no surprises at closing.

Document preparation

We draft or review all contracts, deeds of sale, hypothec documents, and declarations of co-ownership with meticulous attention to detail. Every clause is written to protect your position while remaining compliant with the Civil Code of Quebec.

Closing and follow-through

On closing day we coordinate with notaries, lenders, and opposing counsel to ensure a seamless transfer. After the transaction, we register all instruments with the Land Registry and provide you with certified copies for your records. Our file stays open for thirty days in case any post-closing questions arise.

Practice areas

Our firm concentrates exclusively on property-related matters, which means deeper expertise and faster turnaround for every file we take on.

Residential purchases and sales

We guide buyers and sellers through every stage of a residential real estate transaction — offer review, financing conditions, title examination, adjustments, and closing. Our goal is to make the process feel straightforward even when the legal details are complex.

Commercial real estate

From strip-mall acquisitions to multi-unit industrial leases, we structure commercial property transactions that protect your investment and anticipate future contingencies. We also advise on environmental compliance and municipal permits.

Title searches and insurance

A clean title is the foundation of any property transaction. We perform comprehensive index-of-immovables searches, identify liens and hypothecs, and coordinate title insurance policies to give you peace of mind long after the deal closes.

Boundary and easement disputes

When neighbours disagree about property lines, rights of way, or shared infrastructure, emotions run high. We combine survey analysis with negotiation skills to resolve disputes efficiently — and litigate when a fair resolution cannot be reached at the table.

Co-ownership and condominiums

Quebec condominium law has unique requirements under the Civil Code. We draft and review declarations of co-ownership, by-laws, and common-element agreements, and we represent syndicates and individual co-owners in governance disputes.

Landlord-tenant matters

Whether you are a landlord drafting a lease or a tenant facing an unlawful eviction, we provide practical advice grounded in the Régie du logement framework. We handle lease disputes, rent adjustments, and damage claims with equal diligence.

Frequently asked questions

In Quebec, notaries authenticate deeds and handle many routine closings. A property lawyer, however, advocates exclusively for your interests. We negotiate contract terms, resolve title defects, litigate disputes, and provide strategic advice that goes beyond document execution. Many clients retain both a notary and a lawyer for complex transactions.

Most residential purchases in Quebec close within 30 to 60 days from the accepted offer. The timeline depends on financing conditions, the complexity of the title search, and any inspections required. We work to keep your file on schedule and communicate proactively if any delays arise.

Absolutely. All four lawyers on our team are fully bilingual. We can draft documents, correspond with opposing counsel, and appear before tribunals in whichever language you prefer. Court filings in Quebec are generally in French, but we ensure you understand every document before you sign.

For standard residential transactions, we offer flat-fee packages so you know the total cost upfront. Litigation and more complex commercial matters are billed on an hourly basis with detailed monthly statements. We always provide a written fee agreement before work begins, and there are no hidden disbursements.

Yes. We regularly assist property owners who discover title defects, encroachments, or undisclosed servitudes after purchase. Depending on the issue, remedies may include negotiation with the previous owner, an application to correct the land register, or a court action. The sooner you seek advice, the more options are typically available.
