Wise and Associates

Frequently asked questions

I'm a contractor who hasn't been paid for completed work. Can Wise and Associates help me register a construction lien?

Construction liens are one of the specific matters the firm's construction disputes practice covers, along with delay claims, breach of trust, bond claims, and disputes over tender and bid compliance, for owners, contractors, manufacturers, sureties, lenders, consultants, architects and engineers.

My real estate closing fell through and it turned into a dispute. Does the firm handle that?

Failed closings are listed among the firm's real property litigation matters, alongside boundary and easement disputes, mortgage enforcement, zoning disputes, and commercial leasing disagreements, for buyers, sellers, landlords, brokers and developers.

Does Wise and Associates only go to court, or does it also handle mediation?

The firm's own pages describe offering mediation alongside litigation in both its construction and real property practice areas, and say its lawyers have appeared before courts at every level in Ontario and across Canada.

Does the firm take on anything besides construction and real estate disputes?

Yes. Beyond construction and real property litigation, the firm's online intake form lists bankruptcy and insolvency, civil fraud, commercial litigation, contract disputes, franchise disputes, partnership and shareholder disputes, tax litigation, and employment disputes among matters it takes on.

Is Wise and Associates a large firm or a small, focused practice?
