Real Estate LawReal Estate LawAbout Jennifer Maas
Jennifer Maas is a solicitor at SV Law who works out of the firm's Waterloo office. Municipal, planning and land development law sits at the centre of the practice, and real estate work runs alongside it. Clients come from both the public and private side: municipalities and school boards on one hand, developers and property owners on the other.
That can mean steering a severance through the Planning Act consent process, drafting a by-law or policy, or advising a municipality on a procurement or a point of governance and procedure. Leasing, financing and buying or selling land round out the work.
Maas articled at SV Law and was called to the bar in 2020. The legal training started at Western University, where Maas earned a Juris Doctor, edited Western Law's Journal of Legal Studies, co-chaired the Health Law Association, and was a teaching assistant for a Health Law course. Before that came an honours science degree in human kinetics at the University of Guelph, finished with distinction. Research assistant jobs ran through both degrees, in biomechanics first and later in healthcare law and policy. In 2026, Maas added an Osgoode Hall certificate in municipal law and governance.
Jen grew up on a family farm in Caledonia and is a big fan of games. Since 2021 Maas has also served on the board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Centre Wellington, including a stretch as vice chair from 2023 to 2025.
