Why You Need Legal Help with Real Estate Litigation
Real estate disputes can escalate quickly—delaying transactions, freezing assets, or triggering lawsuits. Whether you’re facing a breach of agreement, a failed deal, or a title issue, real estate litigation demands swift, strategic and precision-focused action.
These disputes often involve large financial stakes, strict timelines, and multiple parties. A skilled real estate litigation lawyer protects your investment, resolves conflict, and ensures that agreements are enforced or defended with confidence.

Property Disputes and Experienced Litigation Lawyers
Are you struggling with a complex property ownership dispute that is consuming your time and peace of mind? Are you dealing with a co-owner who has become oppressive, effectively holding you hostage in your own investment? Have you considered selling your share to take profit before market conditions shift—only to have the other owner refuse a buyout?
These are just some of the high-stakes real estate issues we routinely resolve for our clients.
Disputes Arising from Termination of Purchase and Sale Agreements
When buying or selling property, time is of the essence. One deal is often tied to another, and with a rapidly changing real estate market, contracts may be delayed, terminated, or breached. We assist both sellers and buyers in understanding and enforcing their rights when transactions fall through.
Partitions
Any person with an interest in a property may apply to the court for sale and partition. If joint owners or tenants in common cannot agree on how to deal with a property—whether residential, commercial, or inherited—conflict often follows. Our firm regularly issues and defends partition actions, and we have a proven record of negotiating favourable outcomes for our clients. Contact us today to explore your options.
Easements, Boundary Disputes, Title and Zoning Issues
We assist clients with easements, boundary conflicts, and compliance with legal descriptions and surveys. Ensuring that what you own on paper matches what exists in reality is critical—especially when applying for construction or renovation permits.
In Toronto and the GTA, construction on adjoining properties can also create significant nuisances that interfere with property enjoyment. Our lawyers provide practical solutions to safeguard your rights and well-being.
Constructive & Resulting Trusts, Unjust Enrichment
If you are not a registered owner of a property but contributed financially, invested labour, or otherwise helped maintain or improve it, you may have a claim to ownership through constructive trust. Similarly, if you are the beneficial owner despite not being on title, a resulting trust may apply.

What should I do first if I believe there is a legal issue with my property?
Document everything (photos, dates, communications). Get copies of title or ownership documents. Seek expert reports (surveyors, architects) if needed. Consult a litigation lawyer early to understand your rights, potential costs, and best strategy.
What are the legal costs involved in real estate litigation?
Costs depend on factors like: how many parties are involved; whether expert reports are needed (e.g. surveyor, engineer); number of court motions; discovery and document handling. ME Law provides estimates up front and explores cost-effective routes where possible (e.g. mediation before trial)
How long does a real estate litigation case take in Ontario?
Timeframes vary depending on issue complexity, whether parties cooperate, and court scheduling. Simple disputes might resolve in months via negotiation or mediation; more complicated cases (with expert evidence, multiple parties, or appeals) may take a year or more.
Can real estate disputes be settled outside court?
Yes. Many parties prefer mediation, arbitration, or negotiation. These methods tend to be faster, less formal, and less costly. However, if the dispute is serious (e.g. ownership rights threatened, large financial stakes), litigation may be necessary.
Can I recover legal costs if I win a real estate dispute?
Potentially, yes. If the court rules in your favour, it may award costs (legal fees, expert fees) to the successful party. However, cost awards are discretionary and depend on the case specifics, conduct of parties, and whether the litigation was reasonable

Reviews &
Testimonials
DIXI ENERGY2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. May’s legal representation was nothing short of exceptional. We were going through an extremely difficult and emotionally draining situation, and from the very beginning, May showed total dedication, professionalism, and—most importantly—a genuine care for our rights and well-being. Throughout the entire process, she made sure we were always kept informed about what was happening and explained everything clearly so we didn’t feel lost or overwhelmed. It was obvious that she—and her whole team—put real effort into advancing our interests every step of the way. We really noticed the difference compared to the other side’s lawyers, who simply didn’t show the same level of commitment or attention, at least from our experience. What I appreciated most about May was her honesty. She didn’t try to sugar-coat anything or make unrealistic promises. Instead, she gave us a truthful picture of our case right from the beginning—what the risks were, what might happen, and what to expect. That kind of honesty made us feel we could really trust her. She was also very clear about legal fees. Yes, her services are on the higher end, but she was upfront about all the costs, how the billing worked, and what might affect it. That kind of transparency is rare, and it meant we were never caught off guard. Beyond her own impressive knowledge and skill, May has built a very strong and well-run firm. From her assistants, to the associates we worked with, and Luna—her accountant—everyone was just lovely to deal with. They were responsive, respectful, and clearly cared about doing things right. All in all, we felt completely supported. Not only does May know what she’s doing, but she truly cares—and that made all the difference for us. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend May to anyone who needs strong, honest, and capable legal help. Farzad2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the privilege to work with May and team on a tough shareholder buyout! Cannot say enough of how dedicated and passionate May and her team is for their business! I would definitely recommend them for any legal services specially on litigation side. Keep going May and I look forward working with you! Liubov Melnikova2025-06-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been ME Laws client since the day May started the firm. I have seen the firm grow from nothing to a well oil machine. I can rely on anyone in the firm to work with because May has built something try fantastic! God job ME Law. Olga Milman2025-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at ME Law are a God send. They are always available when I need them. They got me a big payout and worked very closely with me on my corporate matter. On top of all that, I have never seen a firm ever in Toronto that is very detailed with their dockets. I know exactly where my money has gone. They are a 5+++ firm. Adelya M2025-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a complex cross-border contract issue with our firm, and they handled it with incredible care and confidence. I had a great experience with the ME Law team. brii zoo2025-01-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience working with ME Law. The senior counsel was very competent and professional in our interactions and the handling of my case. I felt very supported and safe working with everyone at the firm and the outcome was exceptional. I would recommend anyone with a civil case to give ME law a call. Brittany Rose Imran Latif2024-01-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted melaw yesterday to advise us on responding to a Contractor’s lawyer threatening legal action. Even though melaw’s lawyers’ schedule was full, the staff realized the immediacy of our request and constantly followed up so that they were able to squeeze us in for 5 minutes between meetings and advise us on our issue. We would highly recommend melaw to anyone looking for legal advice and representation.
