Municipal Law

The focus of our practice is on municipal, planning and development law. Through the years we have developed a reputation for delivering successful results, even under extreme circumstances, cost effectively and in a timely manner. As corporate lawyers, we appreciate that in order to be effective advocates for our clients' interests we must understand their business. To this end we aim to develop solutions that are acceptable to our clients from a business point of view, while at the same time effectively address the concerns of municipalities and other approval authorities.

Our experience includes the land use approvals process, including municipal and provincial approvals and representation before the Ontario Municipal Board and the courts.
