Navigating the complexities of construction liens in Ontario requires specialized legal expertise. Our law firm offers comprehensive construction lien services, providing the support you need to secure your financial interests and resolve lien-related disputes efficiently.

Understanding Construction Liens

A construction lien is a legal claim against a property for unpaid work or materials provided during a construction project. It ensures that those who contribute to the construction or improvement of a property are compensated for their efforts. Key aspects of construction liens include:
  • Filing a Lien: To secure a lien, it must be properly filed within a specific timeframe, typically 60 days from the last day of work or supply of materials.
  • Perfecting a Lien: This involves initiating legal action to enforce the lien, which must be done within 90 days of filing.
  • Preserving a Lien: Ensuring all procedural steps are followed to maintain the lien's validity.
  • Lien Waivers and Releases: Negotiating and drafting documents to waive or release liens upon payment or settlement.
