Part-time LLM Specializing in Real Property Law
This program is available via Distance Learning.
Director
Jeffrey Lem, Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP
This two-year, part-time program will give practising real estate lawyers an opportunity to explore key topics and emerging issues in real property transactions. Today's real property matters are cross-disciplinary and cross-jurisdictional, with greater sophistication and risk than ever before. Although focussed predominantly on Canadian common law jurisdictions (with an emphasis on Ontario in some courses) the program will deliberately draw upon the relevant law in Quebec, the US and beyond.
