Real Estate Development Litigation Services
DuMoulin Boskovich's team of litigators also have extensive experience in resolving real property disputes whether in court, arbitration or mediation. We commonly represent commercial and residential real estate owners and others in disputes relating to such issues as:
• landowners' charges, easements and building schemes and their relationship with municipal by-laws;
• disputes arising from failed purchase and sale agreements and financing contracts;
• transfers made in violation of legislation against fraudulent conveyances and preferences;
• commercial tenancy concerns;
• disputes among strata property owners, strata councils, developers and rental managers.
In such cases, our first priority is to consider what remedies are most effective for our clients. For example, it is often in our clients' interests to ensure that encumbrances against real property are obtained to protect their position before or when legal proceedings are started. |
