Business Law
McAuley & Partners combines expert legal advice with sensitivity to the client’s business environment, and assembles teams to meet the client’s specific needs in the most expeditious and cost-effective manner. Our clients know that they can count on us to be accessible and prompt in responding to their needs and to put the full resources of the Firm at their disposal when necessary.
Real Estate
We act on behalf of vendors, purchasers and financial institutions in all aspects of both commercial and residential real estate sales and financing. This includes advising the client both prior to and in the finalization of the transaction. We are also experienced in all areas of leasing, be it commercial or residential, and offer the client up-to-date expertise in this field of practice. We are knowledgeable about what financial institutions have to offer in the market place and can provide the investor with legal advice in this respect.
Wills & Estates
A properly planned estate can save you and your family considerable expense and distress upon death or incapacity. We have an experienced group of estate lawyers who have taken an active role in community and professional education on estate law. We can assist you in achieving your goals whether it be drafting a will or trust, planning for incapacity with the use of an enduring power of attorney and a personal ‘directive’, or by a restructuring of your holdings. The administration of an estate requires special skills particularly given the complexity of today’s tax laws. We work together with your personal representative to ensure that your estate is managed carefully and distributed expeditiously and in accordance with your wishes.
Family Law
The law in this area of family matters can be complex and the decisions made can have far-reaching consequences for all involved. Experienced, competent legal counsel is an absolute necessity. McAuley & Partners is always prepared to respond to these needs, whether they are related to children, extended family, marriage contracts, or issues of separation and divorce. We also recognize that finding creative solutions to legal issues without litigation can often serve our clients’ needs better. In all family matters, our goal is to provide confidential and effective services to meet the requirements of the client and the best interests of any children involved. Getting the job done for our client in a quick, cost-effective, and above all, compassionate fashion is our priority.
