ABOUT US

Escarpment Law Group is dedicated primarily to the practice of Real Estate Law. We have eight offices conveniently located throughout Oakville, Burlington, Stoney Creek, Hamilton (Mountain & Downtown), St. Catharines, Welland and Waterdown. 

 

While we do offer a full array of legal services required by clients including Estate Planning (such as Wills, Powers of Attorney and Estate Administration), Business Planning (such as incorporations and business acquisitions), the main focus of our practice is with respect to Real Estate Transactions — both residential and commercial. This includes purchases, sales and mortgage refinances.
