Real Estate Law: Ontario Best Practices

By Kormans LLP

Over the years I have been fortunate to be a speaker and/or panelist on so many in-person conferences, seminars, and on-online webinars. I am always excited for the opportunity to impart my legal knowledge and expertise to an audience that usually consists of realtors, brokers, and consumers.

Recently I was asked by First Canadian Title Insurance Company Ltd. (FCT) to present a live webinar for an audience of my peers, namely lawyers practicing real estate law in the Province of Ontario.

Together with John Tracy, Senior Legal Counsel, Claims at FCT we discussed best practices for lawyers on real estate transactions in the current Ontario market, on various topics including:

  • Toronto’s, Ottawa’s and Hamilton’s respective Vacant Home Tax
  • Underused Housing Tax
  • Foreign Buyer Prohibition
  • Types of properties and best practices tips, and
  • Latest technologies available to real estate lawyers

The webinar attracted 871 lawyers to register. Remarkably, over 500 lawyers attended the webinar live in the middle of their work week. Somehow, I even survived the question period!

This was both an honour and a humbling experience that was truly unforgettable, and for which I am grateful.

If you are interested in receiving a copy of the webinar presentation or if you require our assistance with any other legal matters, please do not hesitate to contact us at (905) 270-6660 or e-mail us at: info@kormans.ca.
