Below is a list of the key areas of practice where we can provide expert guidance and representation.
Real Estate Closings
Our experienced real estate lawyers guide clients through both straightforward and complex real estate closings. We carefully evaluate and explain all legal documents involved, such as purchase and sale agreements, title reports, and mortgage documentation, ensuring compliance with all Ontario and municipal laws. Our team manages the transfer of title and division of funds at closing, addressing any legal challenges that may arise, including title disputes, zoning issues, and disagreements between buyers and sellers. We also handle obstacles related to mortgage financing, fraud, or predatory lending, ensuring a smooth and legally compliant closing process.
Offers of Purchase and Sale
Our real estate lawyers provide expert legal advice on offers, purchase and sale agreements, and contract formulation in Ontario. We guide clients through the process by reviewing contract terms, including price, closing date, and conditions, and ensuring compliance with legal obligations. Our services also include reviewing title and property reports, organizing inspections, and assisting with ownership transfers and the necessary paperwork for closing. Additionally, we help clients navigate financial, zoning, and other legal issues that could affect property transactions, ensuring a smooth and legally sound process.
Slip and Fall
Slips, trips, and falls can lead to severe, life-altering injuries, such as broken bones or head trauma, comparable to injuries sustained in automobile accidents. When negligence is involved, seeking legal assistance is crucial. Under Ontario’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, both property owners and occupiers, such as storeowners, are responsible for ensuring premises are safe for visitors. Hazards like wet floors without caution signs, poorly maintained sidewalks, or inadequate lighting can result in shared liability between owners and occupiers. Negligence in maintaining safe premises can lead to claims for personal injury, covering damages such as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and loss of income.
Brain Injury
Head and brain injuries from sports have led to significant research over the past decade, revealing that head wounds from various accidents—such as car crashes, bicycle accidents, or slip-and-falls—can result in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Symptoms of TBI may not appear immediately and can range from dizziness and headaches to more severe issues like memory loss, behavioral changes, and seizures. Seeking medical attention promptly is crucial to assess the extent of any head injury. Recovery from a brain injury often involves a combination of treatments and therapies, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, to address the broad range of needs following such trauma.
Catastrophic Accidents
A catastrophic injury is a severe and life-altering injury to the brain, spine, or spinal cord, often resulting from accidents such as car or motorcycle collisions, falls, or other serious incidents. These injuries can significantly impair an individual's ability to perform daily activities, requiring extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and assistive devices. The effects extend beyond the injured person, profoundly impacting their families, who may face emotional strain and long-term caregiving responsibilities. Substantial compensation is often necessary to cover medical expenses, lost income, and long-term care needs.
Disability Lawyer
Long-term disability (LTD) insurance is a vital safety net, providing financial support to individuals unable to work for extended periods due to illness or injury. It ensures access to essential resources during challenging times, helping families maintain stability. Adding LTD to your benefits package is a smart decision, offering critical protection for you and your loved ones in unforeseen circumstances.
Soft Tissue Injury
A soft tissue injury involves damage to ligaments, muscles, or tendons caused by trauma or overuse, often resulting from incidents like slip-and-fall accidents. These injuries are classified into three grades: mild (small fiber tears with minimal swelling), moderate (partial tears with swelling and pain, particularly under weight), and severe (complete ruptures causing significant swelling, extreme pain, and inability to use the injured area). Common types include strains from overstretching or tearing muscles or tendons and sprains caused by over-stretching ligaments.
Car Accident
Navigating Toronto and the GTA's dense traffic often leads to severe accidents involving drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. If you are in a car accident, obtaining effective legal counsel is essential. Ontario’s system offers two primary paths for compensation: Statutory Accident Benefit Claims (no-fault benefits provided by your insurer for medical and rehabilitation expenses, regardless of fault) and Tort Law (lawsuits against at-fault parties for damages such as long-term suffering, disability, and loss of wages). Mayfair Law Group helps maximize benefits and secure compensation for catastrophic injuries like brain trauma or paralysis. Additionally, lawsuits may arise from accidents caused by poorly maintained municipal or private properties. Mayfair Law Group is committed to helping you explore all options for justice and support.
Independent Legal Advice
Our lawyers provide independent legal advice to ensure all parties involved in a real estate transaction fully understand their rights, responsibilities, and the legal implications. This guidance safeguards against fraud or undue influence, promotes transparency by ensuring all parties have access to identical terms and conditions, and helps prevent future disputes or misunderstandings. By offering this service, we help protect the integrity of the transaction, ensuring it is entered into voluntarily and knowledgeably.
Dog Bite Lawyer
Personal injuries encompass a wide range of incidents beyond car accidents, many of which can significantly impact your quality of life. At Mayfair Law Group, we are committed to supporting individuals and families affected by various personal injuries, including boating and watercraft accidents, brain injuries, chronic pain, dog bites, injuries to children, psychological injuries, restaurant and bar liability, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and wrongful death. Our team is ready to provide guidance and legal representation tailored to these diverse situations to help secure justice and compensation.
Condominium Law
Mayfair Law Group specializes in condominium law, an area governed in Ontario by the Condominium Act. This legislation outlines the formation, administration, and dissolution of condominium corporations, as well as the rights and responsibilities of unit owners, boards of directors, and the corporations themselves. With extensive experience advising on governance and enforcement matters, Mayfair Law Group’s real estate lawyers assist condominium boards and unit owners in navigating complex legal concerns, providing expert guidance tailored to their needs.
