Independent Legal Advice

Sometimes, a mortgage lender or a lender for security may require one of the parties to a transaction to obtain legal advice independent of the advice given to the other party, usually because the parties' interests are not identical. This type of independent legal advice ("ILA") may also be required in other circumstances - for example in the sale of a property held jointly by spouses who are separating or where the proceeds are being distributed in proportions inconsistent with the registered interests of the parties.

We are pleased to offer experienced representation in the provision of independent legal advice related to real estate law, corporate guarantees to banks, and in certain other limited circumstances.
