BREACHES OF CONTRACT

Breaches of contract occur every day. Individuals, as well as companies, frequently enter into contracts. You may have had a contract with a friend for a loan, for instance, in order to renovate your home, and feel that your friend or another party is not fulfilling their obligations.

Our teams of experienced lawyers are often called upon to assist parties in resolving conflicts that arise from contractual disputes. Our main goal is to help our clients understand their rights within the confines of the law. Our objective is to interpret and act on each and every issue of the contract and attain the most favourable outcome for you.

COMMERCIAL LEASES & DISPUTES

Sutherland Law resolves a variety of issues arising from commercial leases and commercial landlord/tenant disputes. We provide insightful guidance to commercial landlords in creating effective leases, as well as assist with enforcing a commercial lease agreement or in eviction proceedings.

The laws governing eviction of commercial tenants are complex and require strict adherence. This includes counsel on the landlord's rights to seize tenant property for nonpayment, the eviction process, and acting on personal guarantee issues.
