We understand the pressure and frustration that land owners, business owners, tenants and their families experience throughout the expropriation process. We also know how challenging it can be for expropriating authorities to keep a construction project on track and within budget when there is the prospect of expropriation. Our services are tailored to minimize the stress of an expropriation and to obtain a fair result that meets our clients’ needs.
“To take all or part of a person’s property constitutes a severe loss and a very significant interference with a citizen’s private property rights.”
– Dell Holdings Ltd v Toronto Area Transit Operating Authority, [1997] 1 SCR 32.
