Experienced Real Estate Lawyers Serving Toronto and All of Ontario

Buying or selling a home is a major undertaking. While these transactions may seem routine, there are a number of pitfalls that can derail a closing if a lawyer fails to devote the proper care and attention to the matter. With housing prices what they are, securing a lawyer skilled in real estate closings is crucial. A home is a person’s most valuable asset and it’s important that their lawyer treats it as such.

Real estate lawyers at GLG LLP offer a full range of real estate services to individuals and commercial entities across the greater Toronto area.

The firm works with clients to mitigate risk and maximize benefits in a range of real estate transactions, ranging from very simple to highly complex. They will provide document review and drafting and assist with residential and commercial purchases, sales and lease agreements. They have extensive experience working with vendors and purchasers, as well as property owners seeking refinancing or wishing to obtain title insurance policies. Should it become necessary, the firm is also equipped to handle any real estate litigation matter that may arise regarding a residential or commercial property.

Real Estate Market Activity

The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) experienced a significant surge in residential sales activity in the fourth quarter of 2024, marking a 28.9% increase compared to the same period in 2023. A total of 15,892 residential properties changed hands, reflecting heightened market demand.

Single-detached home sales rose by 31%
Semi-detached home sales increased by 22%
Condominium townhouse sales grew by 26.4%
Condominium apartment sales climbed by 25.7%

On an annual basis, GTA residential property sales reached 67,985 units in 2024, a 2.5% rise from the 66,311 units sold in 2023.

Dedicated Real Estate Lawyers Who Handle Every Detail

The real estate lawyers at GLG LLP personally review and handle every file. They pride themselves on their meticulous attention to detail when it comes to transactional work. Unlike many other real estate practices, GLG LLP lawyers do not pass files off to assistants to manage in an assembly-line fashion, with lawyers showing up to sign off on documents just before closing. When the firm receives a new file, one of their experienced real estate lawyers promptly reviews all of the documentation in full. They closely examine title to the property, financing details, and all requisition letters from the other party’s counsel to identify and proactively address any potential issues.

Discovering a problem at the eleventh hour of a real estate transaction often results in severe consequences, affecting title insurance, financing, and the ability to close as scheduled, which can lead to costly litigation.

The firm’s unique approach of direct lawyer involvement from day one ensures potential problems are handled before they even become an issue. They build strong, long-term relationships with clients through regular communications and updates, ensuring that every client receives personalized attention.

The real estate lawyers at GLG LLP developed their skills at some of the most prestigious firms in Toronto. They created their own firm with the goal of combining high-end legal solutions with superior client service for each and every client.

At GLG LLP, every client is considered a “big fish” deserving of VIP treatment.

Hands-on Service for Commercial and Residential Real Estate Transactions

The real estate lawyers at GLG LLP can assist with a variety of real estate matters, including:

In-House Real Estate Litigators

Most real estate law firms are made up exclusively of transactional lawyers, meaning that if litigation becomes necessary, clients must seek outside counsel to represent them in court.

GLG LLP is ready to handle any real estate litigation in-house, with lawyers who are already familiar with the file and the related issues. In addition, because of their litigation experience, they are skilled at identifying and proactively addressing issues from the start, avoiding litigation down the road.
