Is my property in Toronto subject to an Expropriation?
A landowner must be compensated for any property that is taken, but disputes can arise about the value of that property and the amount of compensation that the owner is entitled to.
We provide completely free consultation to prospective clients. In most expropriation cases, fees are paid by the expropriating authority.
What is the Expropriation Process in Ontario?
Expropriation describes the process where a landowner is forced to lose ownership of their property to an “expropriating authority,” for government use or where the government authorizes it. An expropriation may take all of a property, part of a property, or it may take only a partial interest in a property.
You don’t have to accept the first offer. You have rights—and we fight for them.

Evaluation
Working with a team of land appraisers, business valuators, and planners, we will evaluate the value of your property to get you the compensation you deserve.
Strategy
The process of determining what amount of compensation is appropriate in a given situation is highly technical and complex and requires guidance from experienced expropriation lawyers.
Negotiation & Arbitration
We will negotiate vigorously with the expropriating authority on your behalf. If a resolution before litigation is not possible, we'll start the arbitration process before the Ontario Land Tribunal.
