Our litigation lawyers have considerable experience handling investigations, enforcement, complaints, and registration matters under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act (“ONHWPA”) and dealing with investigators, lawyers, and representatives of the Tarion Warranty Corporation.

Our clients include large and small-scale developers, residential and commercial builders, and sub-contractors regulated by the ONHWPA and Tarion Warranty Corporation.

We have the legal knowledge and experience to identify problems and solve them with minimum time and cost that maintains the builder’s business and reputation in a competitive market.

Given our experience as former prosecutors and external legal counsel for related regulators, we have particular knowledge of the various challenges to compliance in this area. This also makes us particularly effective in fighting back against Tarion prosecutions and dealing with all forms of litigation and arbitration arising out of the ONHWPA.
