Construction Lien Registration
Filing a lien on the property is generally the quickest and most inexpensive option for getting paid fast. LienMaster offers a simple digital service for lien registration that doesn't compromise quality and your lien is always filed by an Ontario Construction Lawyer.
Settlement & Construction Lien Discharge
LienMaster resolves disputes and clears title efficiently. We negotiate settlements, prepare settlement agreements, and register lien discharges in Teraview to release holdback funds and restore clean property title which is typically part of the settlement once we ensure our clients are paid.
Construction Contracts
Protect your projects from day one. We draft, review, and negotiate airtight construction contracts, subcontracts, and change orders that minimize disputes and hold up under the Construction Act.
Construction Dispute Negotiation
Whether a construction lien has been registered or not, LienMaster by Maki Law has extensive experience in negotiating successful settlements for our clients. We take a practical approach that emphasizes efficiency as time is generally a critical factor.
