We draft, negotiate, and review APS and related offers tailored to your deal, incorporating current market terms and risk controls. During negotiations, we conduct a preliminary title review to flag issues early, and provide independent legal advice (ILA) on structure, liability, taxes, and closing mechanics.

Whether the asset is retail, industrial, office, mixed‑use, agricultural, or special‑purpose, we handle end‑to‑end due diligence and closing coordination:

• Title searches for encumbrances (easements/right‑of‑way, restrictive covenants, site‑plan/subdivision agreements, by‑laws).

• Planning Act compliance checks and adjacent‑land reviews.

• Off‑title searches with municipal/utilities (tax/water arrears, zoning, building/fire, conservation authority).

• Corporate/vendor checks (status certificates, PPSA, bankruptcy/insolvency, HST registration).

• Closing management with lenders, vendors/purchasers, brokers, and title insurers (pay‑outs, discharges, undertakings, statements of adjustments, and closing agendas).

We provide a clear report covering:

• All instruments registered on title (leases, notices, development agreements).

• Survey and legal description issues.

• Zoning conformity and permitted uses.

• Utilities and tax clearances.

• Review of leases, rent rolls, estoppel certificates, SNDA/non‑disturbance agreements, assignment/consent mechanics.

We negotiate commitment letters and lending documents, satisfy pre‑funding conditions, and act as escrow for fund flows. We advise on:

• Conventional, private, CMHC‑insured (where applicable) and construction facilities.

• Collateral mortgages (all‑indebtedness/credit facilities secured against real property) and blanket mortgages (one loan secured by multiple properties).

• Intercreditor/priority arrangements and PPSA registrations for mixed real/personal property security.

From industrial and office to retail and mixed‑use, we draft, review, and negotiate:

• Base leases and amendments (use/exclusivity, assignment/sublet, repair/CapEx, operating costs, insurance/indemnity).

• Build‑to‑suit/turnkey and ground/building leases.

• Rooftop/solar and specialty licenses.

• Tenant improvement (TI) allowances, fixturing periods, delivery conditions, co‑tenancy, relocation, and early termination options.

We structure head leases and subleases, obtain required landlord consents, and align franchise documents with lease covenants to avoid cross‑default traps.

We create practical playbooks for leased portfolios: default remedies, notices, collections, maintenance and access policies, insurance/tendering, and vendor contracts—aimed at lowering OpEx and protecting NOI.

Buying or selling a business with real estate attached? We handle asset and share transactions where the property is a key value driver, aligning purchase agreements, lease assignments, and lender consents with the closing timeline.

We place and tailor commercial title insurance to address known risks (survey/encroachments, zoning endorsements where available, gap coverage, fraud/forgery) and negotiate custom endorsements suited to your asset and lender.
