About the Firm
Expert guidance in navigating complex construction challenges
At Kennaley Construction Law, we focus on the complex legal issues facing Ontario’s construction sector. Our experienced team is here to support you at every project stage, whether you’re dealing with contract negotiation, project administration or dispute resolution. Trust us to safeguard your interests and help your project succeed.
Managing construction risk and disputes can be complicated. This is especially true in Ontario, where a decade of significant and ongoing legislative change has shifted the rights, obligations and exposure of participants in every type of construction project. No matter your role on a project, we have the experience and expertise to help – before, during or after construction. Whether your project involves transport infrastructure; an energy, industrial, commercial, or manufacturing facility; a subdivision or condominium development; or an institutional project, we have relevant experience. We have also worked across a variety of project structures and can assist with your P-3, municipal or other government project.
Before construction, our transactional or “non-contentious” experience in reviewing, drafting and negotiating contracts, tender packages and RFPs rivals that of any firm in the province. As issues arise in the field during construction, we can assist to preserve your rights, understand and meet your obligations, and pursue interim remedies – including those available through construction adjudication under Ontario’s Construction Act.
After construction, you can rest assured that we bring breadth and depth of expertise to all aspects of construction dispute resolution, including private arbitrations and extensive trial and appellate level experience at all levels of Court in Ontario, including complex construction lien litigation.
We have a thorough and detailed understanding of construction law itself and have argued significant precedent-setting cases. See our “recent cases” page in that regard. To learn more about particular construction law issues, please peruse the articles and on-demand webinars produced by our lawyers. Our team has written and spoken extensively; in trade and construction publications, at conferences and seminars and through our popular free weekly Tuesday morning webinar series.
