• Human Rights Law – Balancing the rights of those who use marijuana to treat a disability or on other protected grounds with the impact that use may have in other areas of life is a challenge for both applicants and respondents in human rights litigation. Our office is well-equipped and experienced in addressing these sensitive issues both inside and outside of the courts and tribunals.
   
• Landlord and Tenant Law – The use of now legalized cannabis products in the comfort of your own home or common area can often affect the reasonable enjoyment of other tenants and neighbours, or even cause damage to the property itself. Our lawyers are informed and up to date on what is and isn’t permitted and what recourse is available to both landlords and tenants who believe they are being treated unfairly by the other side.
