Professional LLM Specializing in Real Property Law

This program is available via Distance Learning.

Jeffrey Lem, Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP


This two-year, professional 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.
