Expropriation

If you are facing a pending expropriation of a property interest, Dale & Lessmann’s Expropriation group can assist you in securing fair compensation from the governmental authority. 

Our lawyers have experience negotiating and closing voluntary acquisitions and resolving expropriation claims pertaining to fee simple interests, leasehold interests, disturbance damages, claims for injurious affection, and temporary easements. 

We represent property owners and tenants that are subject to expropriation plans in jurisdictions throughout the Greater Toronto Area. 

We offer practical and timely advice regarding expropriation matters and work in concert with valuation experts to ensure compensation issues are appropriately addressed.  

Our expropriation lawyers have assisted clients in a multitude of expropriation settings, including the Hurontario Light Rail Transit construction in Mississauga and Brampton, road expansions in Halton and Peel regions, and various initiatives by Metrolinx, the City of Toronto, and the Ministry of Transportation. 

Whether your property rights are impacted by a large or small scale infrastructure project, we would be pleased to help you navigate the expropriation process and advocate on your behalf.
