Construction Law

We only practice Construction Law.

Construction Liens

In Ontario, a construction lien (also called a builders’ lien or mechanics’ lien in other provinces) is a legal claim for payment for goods and services that have been supplied to improve a property.

For Contractors

If you haven’t been paid for work you have performed, you are entitled to file a construction lien.

As a lien claimant, you are entitled to the amount of the price of the services or materials provided to the owner, contractors and sub-contractors.

Liens are a powerful tool to use to reclaim your money. They are registered on the title of the property with a land registry office. While the lien is in place, the owner may have their bank freeze their credit. If the property is sold, the new owner is required to pay out your lien.

Let us help you get the funds you are owed.

For Property Owners

It is important that you contact us as soon as you have been served with a construction lien claim. You have only 20 days to file a Statement of Defence, a cross-claim, a counterclaim or a third party claim.

If you fail to deliver a Statement of Defence within the time allowed, you may be noted in default, and will not be permitted to contest the claim, or to file a Statement of Defence unless they have the permission of the court.
