Real estate law

In contractual matters, real estate transactions are of particular importance for both individuals and companies given the generally considerable value of the assets involved. This is why it is essential for all stakeholders to show rigor and meticulousness during the preliminary steps in order to identify errors, detect pitfalls and, ultimately, maneuver to avoid the costs, uncertainty and delays inherent to litigation.

At DUBÉ LATREILLE, we support buyers and sellers in this complex process by putting our experience at their disposal at each stage. We also assist our clients when things go wrong, especially when one party refuses to honor its promise to sell or purchase, or when construction defects or latent defects affect the use or value of the property in question.

DUBÉ LATREILLE also assists real estate brokerage agencies in Quebec and their brokers by helping them comply with the requirements prescribed by FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada and the OACIQ (authority of real estate brokerage in Quebec) by carrying out compliance assessments, setting up compliance plans, and, where appropriate, making updates when necessary. To make their job easier, our firm provides them with a punctual legal assistance service, training/conferences, and access to articles pertaining to legal news to keep them up to date on issues that could affect their industry.

Ultimately, DUBÉ LATREILLE contributes to the legal security of its clients' transactions with an approach based on information and prevention.
