About Luciano Legal

Buying or selling a home, closing a commercial property deal, or taking care of a company's corporate matters: Luciano Legal handles all of it entirely online, explaining things plainly so clients never need to visit an office. The practice is based in Waterloo, and it's served clients across Ontario since 2012.

Peter Luciano is the firm's founder and principal. Peter earned a law degree at Osgoode Hall Law School, was called to the Ontario bar in 2010, and spent several years as a lawyer at a national firm focused on corporate and securities law.

Before practising law, Peter Luciano was an owner, director and officer of a property management company and of a production company. Having seen first-hand the problems that can come up when buying and selling real estate and running a business in Ontario, Peter built a practice around working directly with clients on their most important transactions, with the aim of making the process as stress-free as possible.

Clients deal directly with the lawyer handling their file rather than a call queue or a changing roster of assistants. Luciano Legal also publishes guides for clients, on subjects ranging from the beneficial ownership records Ontario private corporations must now keep (who has to be listed and the penalties for skipping it) to what a person takes on by guaranteeing a relative's mortgage. A first consultation is free and can happen by phone or video.

Practice areas

Residential closings

On the residential side, Luciano Legal acts for people buying or selling a home and for owners who are refinancing or changing who's on title. Its services include independent legal advice and private mortgage and lender work. For condos it reviews the status certificate, and for new builds it handles the builder's documents, interim occupancy and the final closing.

Commercial property

On the commercial side, Luciano Legal acts for investors and business owners anywhere in Ontario, and for landlords as well as tenants. Its commercial work also covers lease reviews on a tenant's behalf and vendor take-back mortgages.

Corporate work for Ontario businesses

Corporate clients include founders, owner-operators and growing companies across the province. The work runs from Ontario and federal incorporations and partnership agreements through reorganizations to dissolutions and wind-ups. The firm keeps a company's records in its minute book and can handle the annual filings each year.

How Luciano Legal works

Luciano Legal combines a small firm's care and direct access with the ease of working fully online. Its commitment is to explain the law in terms clients can act on, so they always understand what's going on and the reasons for it. Billing depends on the kind of file: one all-in fixed quote for residential real estate, a flat fee for most corporate work, and an hourly rate with a minimum for commercial deals, quoted once the firm understands the transaction.

The neighbourhood

Luciano Legal's mailing address is 96 Culpepper Drive in Waterloo. Meetings are by appointment on weekdays, and the practice works fully remotely for clients throughout Ontario. Evening and weekend calls can be set up on request.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Luciano Legal home closing include off-title searches like work orders and open permits?
Luciano Legal doesn't include off-title searches in a standard residential closing by default; that covers things like work orders, open building permits, zoning compliance, and municipal tax or utility arrears. Clients who want them can ask, and the firm will arrange them and give the cost on request, since it differs from one municipality to the next.
What does Luciano Legal charge to set up a professional corporation for a medical or dental practice?
Luciano Legal charges a flat fee of $1,400 for a professional corporation, with medicine, dentistry, law and accounting given as examples. Its corporate fees are plus HST and disbursements, government filing fees among them. (Fees as of October 2026.)
Can Luciano Legal set up the company that will hold a commercial property I'm buying?
Yes. Purchases held through a corporation are a regular part of Luciano Legal's commercial work, and the firm can create or organize that company within the same transaction.
What's broken out in Luciano Legal's fixed quote for a home closing?
Luciano Legal's residential quote sets out the legal fee, the disbursements (title search, registration and title insurance) and HST, each shown separately. Once a client sends in the details through the quote form, the firm reviews them and the fixed quote usually goes out within one business day.
Can I track my file through Luciano Legal's client portal?
Luciano Legal offers a client portal where clients can check on the progress of their matter at any time. Documents are exchanged securely, ID is verified electronically, and papers are signed online.
