Genuine feedback from individuals and businesses we have had the privilege of representing in real-estate transactions and disputes across Quebec.
"We were first-time buyers, anxious about every step. The team at Realty Juris Partners walked us through the offer, inspection contingencies, and closing with remarkable patience. They caught a servitude issue on the title that could have cost us thousands down the road. We felt protected from start to finish and would recommend them without hesitation."
"I manage a portfolio of eight rental properties. When a tenant dispute escalated to the Tribunal, I needed a lawyer who understood both landlord obligations and the Civil Code nuances. My attorney prepared a thorough case, and we reached a favourable settlement in under three weeks. Their billing was transparent—no surprises at all."
"Our company was acquiring a mixed-use building that came with environmental compliance questions. The Realty Juris team coordinated soil assessments, reviewed the municipal by-laws, and negotiated environmental indemnity clauses with the seller. The deal closed on schedule, and we avoided liability that other firms might have overlooked entirely."
"I was selling a heritage property in Old Québec and the buyer's financing fell through twice. Through it all, my lawyer kept negotiations alive, revised the agreement terms, and ultimately helped me close at a price I was happy with. The only reason I give four stars instead of five is the initial wait time to schedule my first meeting—but once we started, everything moved quickly."
"After my mother passed away, we needed to settle her estate which included two residential lots and a cottage. The succession process under Quebec law felt overwhelming. Realty Juris Partners handled the notarial declarations, partition agreements, and the eventual sale of one lot. They were compassionate, thorough, and always available to answer questions."
"We engaged Realty Juris Partners to handle the legal side of a twelve-unit condo conversion project. Their expertise in co-ownership declarations, common-element allocations, and municipal permit requirements was invaluable. They anticipated regulatory hurdles before they became problems and kept the entire project timeline on track."
A closer look at selected engagements that illustrate the breadth and depth of our real-estate law practice.
A young couple was purchasing a semi-detached home in Sainte-Foy. During our title examination, we discovered an unregistered right-of-way that granted the neighbouring property access across the driveway. The seller was unaware of the arrangement, which had been informally agreed upon decades earlier.
We negotiated a formal easement agreement that limited the neighbour's access to specific hours and required them to share maintenance costs. The buyers were able to proceed with full knowledge of the encumbrance, and the purchase price was adjusted downward by $14,000 to reflect the restriction.
Outcome: Buyers saved $14,000 and received legally documented protections for the shared driveway.
A regional investment group contracted us to handle the acquisition of a three-storey mixed-use building on a busy commercial boulevard. Phase I environmental site assessment reports indicated potential soil contamination from a former dry-cleaning operation on the ground floor.
We coordinated a Phase II assessment that confirmed elevated levels of perchloroethylene. Rather than walking away from the deal, we negotiated an environmental indemnity clause requiring the seller to fund remediation up to $85,000 and secured a price reduction of $60,000. We also arranged environmental liability insurance to cover any remediation costs exceeding the indemnity cap.
Outcome: Client acquired the property at a $60,000 discount with full environmental protection, and remediation was completed within eight months.
Our client, a landlord with a six-unit residential building in Limoilou, issued a notice of repossession to recover a unit for personal use. The tenant challenged the notice before the Tribunal administratif du logement, alleging that the repossession was a pretext for raising the rent.
We gathered evidence demonstrating our client's genuine intention to occupy the unit, including architectural plans for accessibility renovations and a sworn affidavit from the client's physician. We also prepared a detailed timeline showing compliance with every procedural requirement under the Civil Code.
The Tribunal ruled in our client's favour, granting the repossession and ordering the tenant to vacate within sixty days. The tenant received the statutory relocation indemnity, and the transition was completed amicably.
Outcome: Landlord successfully recovered the unit for personal use with full legal compliance, avoiding costly delays and further litigation.
