Our real estate and development lawyers located in Ottawa and Vankleek Hill provide development, leasing and financing advice to clients. Steven Sheppard heads our real estate and development group. Our firm represents purchasers, vendors, landlords, tenants, banks, non-traditional lending institutions and developers on a wide variety of real estate matters. Our firm has expertise in complex transactions involving commercial properties, multi-residential properties and vacant land. Our lawyers regularly negotiate complex joint venture agreements, co-tenancy agreements and development agreements. We offer substantial industry experience and a prominent local presence. Our firm understands that real estate requires local resources and expertise in many areas of the law and as such we've built a cross-disciplinary team to assist our clients. Our real estate team works closely with our corporate and municipal groups to ensure our clients are receiving the best advice every time.

The Vankleek Hill office of SKS Law services a unique real estate niche market – agriculture. Legal advisors to farm owners must understand the distinct aspects of agribusiness in order to provide them with the tools necessary to grow their business. Our legal team has extensive experience in agricultural lending and agribusiness. We will work collaboratively with our firm's corporate and estates group to assist farmers with the real estate components of their estate and succession planning.
