Practice Areas
Whether in times of boom or bust, the real estate, infrastructure, and construction markets are rife with unique pitfalls for those individuals and companies involved in the fields.
The complex contractual relations amongst the various parties who contribute to this process, and the legal regime that oversees and regulates those relationships, require the assistance of a capable law firm.
Our experienced team of lawyers provides a full range of advice in all areas of construction litigation. We routinely act for all significant stakeholders in this industry, including:
- Owners

Our Infrastructure & Construction Law Group is able to respond to the urgent needs of our clients and work with them to craft practical and timely solutions to minimize conflicts and, if possible, to avoid disputes entirely. These disputes are often suited to alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and our Team's background in arbitration, mediation, and other ADR methods helps us to resolve matters favourably, and at an early stage.
As well, Howard Borlack, a co-chair of the group, is recognized by Lexpert as one of Canada’s Leading Infrastructure Lawyers.
