Our Clients

Our practice is a balanced one in that we act both for expropriated owners and expropriating authorities in different circumstances. We understand the process from the perspective of both major participants. As a consequence we are often able to see creative solutions to expropriation related problems otherwise not apparent.

With respect to landowners, our clients range from the Province's largest developers to individual homeowners and farm families. Often we are retained by groups of owners affected by large scale projects. An example of this would be the 80 farm families that we acted for in Lambton County when the Province proceeded with the Darcy McKeough Dam and Floodway Project.

We work for development clients in situations where we are experts who are part of a larger consultant team. In other instances we take the lead in resolving conflicts between developers and public authorities.

Our public sector clients include large variety of municipalities. We have acted on significant matters for major municipalities such as the City of Toronto and the City of Windsor and also for smaller municipalities such as the Township of Ramara. We also act for various school boards with respect to the acquisition of school sites.

A great deal of our work for individual landowners is against the Ministry of Transportation. Although we act for other branches of the Provincial Government we do not act for the Ministry of Transportation in any respect. We are routinely retained by landowners affected by Ministry projects across the Province.
