How Can We Help You?

The team at Chornopyski Law brings together years of collective experience and skill to provide detailed, thorough representation for our clients.

REAL ESTATE

Whether you are buying or selling your home, cottage, investment property, or vacant land, we can assist you from the beginning to the end of the transaction.

At Chornopyski Law, we regularly advise on a wide range of legal issues related to real estate transactions, including:

  • Agreements of purchase and sale, including new build agreements of purchase and sale;
  • Co-operatives;
  • Co-ownership agreements;
  • Purchase and sale transactions;
  • Property Disputes (including encroachments, adverse possession, easement disputes, and neighbour disputes);
  • Real estate development;
  • Refinancing transactions;
  • Title Examinations; and
  • Zoning & Land Use.

We represent individuals and families in all kinds of real estate matters. We act diligently to ensure you have a positive and stress-free experience. We also ensure that our clients have contact with, and access to, their lawyer, rather than dealing solely with law clerks throughout the progress of their transaction.

If you are unable to make it to our offices in person, arrange a remote face to face meeting with us using Zoom and save yourself the time and trouble of driving out. Teranet technology allows us to complete real estate transactions anywhere in Manitoba. Close your cottage transaction with us without leaving town. If you live or conduct business in another part of the province, take advantage of our sophisticated team of professionals without the need to travel to our office.

WILLS & ESTATES

Deciding what will happen to your assets upon your death is critical in ensuring your family and loved ones are taken care of when you are gone, and that your assets are distributed in the way that you want them to be. A will is the best way to express your choices and preferences with respect to what should happen after your death. A well-drafted, up-to-date will should be the cornerstone of your entire estate plan.

At Chornopyski Law, we take care to ensure all of your wishes are accurately reflected in a custom-drafted, and regularly updated will.  Our strategic, compassionate, and highly skilled wills lawyers will sit down with you to thoroughly understand your goals, your concerns, and your unique circumstances. We will ensure your will maximizes wealth transfer to your dependants and minimizes potential legal and financial risks.

If you are a business owner or entrepreneur, it is critical to think about the future of your venture.  A well-drafted and carefully thought out succession plan can address unexpected events (accident, illness, or death), help the transfer of your business go smoothly, and provide financial security for your family.

Our wills and estates services include:

  • Wills;
  • Heath Care Directives;
  • Asset Protection Strategies;
  • Lifetime Transfer of Homes and other Property;
  • Powers of Attorney;
  • Probate & Estate Administration; and
  • Trusts

LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT LAW

Whether you’re an employee or an employer, in a union setting or non-union – if it has to do with the workplace – we do that. Workplace law can be litigious (think terminations, grievances, arbitration, collective bargaining, etc.). We can advocate for you throughout that process, providing you with practical, focused advice and representation – and helping you to understand what your rights and entitlements are at law, and exercising them. We know this. Call us.

Our services include:

  • Wrongful Dismissal / Terminations
  • Unjust Dismissal
  • Human Rights
  • Collective Bargaining
  • Grievance Arbitration
  • Labour Relations, including Certification and Decertification
  • Workplace Harassment
  • Workers’ Compensation
  • Employment Contracts
  • Workplace Policy and Procedure

CIVIL LITIGATION

Our firm litigates matters throughout Manitoba, at Provincial Court, the Court of Queen’s Bench, and the Court of Appeal. Representing individuals and institutions through the Court system is the highlight of any litigation practice, and Chornopyski Law is no different. Rely on our experience and approach to assist you in navigating the litigation process, regardless of where your matter is at: whether you are preparing to litigate, defending an existing lawsuit, appealing a decision that did not go your way, or anywhere in between.

Litigation does not always mean Court. Various administrative boards, commissions, and tribunals exist in order to determine matters which are outside the jurisdiction of the Court. These panels and tribunals determine your matter, and you may need the assistance of an advocate on your side. We do that too. Call us.

Our services include:

  • Civil Litigation
  • Commercial Litigation
  • Employment Litigation
  • Construction and Infrastructure
  • Insurance
  • Insolvency
  • Trust and Estates
  • Appeals
  • Administrative and Regulatory
