We concentrate on taking a pro-active approach so that problems are avoided before they surface.

With a strong emphasis in real estate and business law, Sorbara, Schumacher, McCann LLP has, as a matter of course, developed an expertise in commercial leasing. We have assisted real estate developers and investors in ensuring that they have the proper leasing arrangements in place to protect the value of their asset. Commercial rental properties gain much of their value from well-drafted leases. We have advised clients on leasing matters for all types of commercial properties, including multiple unit residential properties, office complexes, strip malls and shopping centres. We also represent tenants in their lease negotiations so as to ensure that they get the legal protection they need to preserve their significant investment.
