CONSTRUCTION COMMUNITY - 'LIEN'-ING TOWARDS PMI
Miller Thomson is built to provide the most comprehensive Canadian business and legal help. The scale of your project is never an issue. We help businesses of every size, entrepreneurs and individuals. We work with not-for-profit organizations as well as financial institutions and governments.
Our mastery of Canadian law is available to domestic and international clients alike.
We are close to 550 lawyers, deeply rooted in communities across Canada. Some would call that “mid-sized” but in truth, we are perfectly Canadian-sized, with 12 strategically placed offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, Toronto, Vaughan, Markham and Montréal.
Our enthusiasm for Canada and Canadian law shows in everything we do.
Miller Thomson will be presenting the anticipated changes to Ontario's Construction Lien Act. The Ministry introduced amending legislation on May 31, 2017. This Bill (Bill 142) is expected to take effect late 2018. The Bill's recommendations will introduce major changes to the construction industry, affecting many stakeholders.
