Liens, contracts, delays and defects — for owners, developers and contractors across Ontario.
Tell us what happened and what you want to achieve. We listen first.
A candid review of your position, the risks and realistic outcomes.
A clear plan with costs and timelines — no surprises.
We act decisively and keep you informed until your matter is resolved.
Construction projects involve tight timelines, many parties and strict statutory deadlines. We help property owners, developers, general contractors and subcontractors protect their rights and keep projects on track.
Aneal practised in a Business and Construction Law group and has run a contracting company himself — so he understands both the legal framework and the realities on site.
“Aneal was very professional and supportive, making what could be a stressful process so much easier to handle. I highly recommend Assertion Law to anyone who needs reliable and effective legal representation!”
Under Ontario’s Construction Act, a lien generally must be preserved within 60 days of the relevant trigger date, such as project completion or your last day of supply. Missing the deadline can lose your lien rights — contact us early.
Ontario’s prompt payment rules set timelines for owners and contractors to pay proper invoices, with adjudication available to resolve some disputes quickly.
There are options, including posting security to vacate the lien and challenging its validity. We’ll assess the claim and advise on the fastest route.
