2022 Real Estate Forum – Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP

The TDS Real Estate Law Practice Group is passionate about the commercial real estate and property development sector in Manitoba and we are excited to be part of the renewal of our city.

By all accounts the 2022 Winnipeg Real Estate Forum was a big success, and it was our pleasure to once again be a platinum sponsor.

We provide a full range of services - from basic conveyancing work, to advising on commercial sales and purchases, leasing, development, construction, property management and condominium development and management, to realization on security through foreclosure and insolvency remedies. A number of our senior practitioners are also frequently involved in advising and assisting clients in structuring transactions, both in real estate transactions and, through co-operative efforts with other practice groups within the firm, in corporate-commercial transactions and in litigation matters having real estate elements to them.

We would like to share some resources with you that may be of value to you and your company. Listed below are links to articles and resources that we hope are relevant to your business.
