And if disputes arise, you can rely on our financial services lawyers to represent you in matters involving secured and unsecured debt, foreclosure, receivership, insolvency proceedings, and priority conflicts.

Focus Areas

We have specialists on our team who provide legal support across all aspects of financial services law. Acting on behalf of lenders, borrowers, and businesses, our team delivers practical, efficient solutions that protect assets, manage risk, and resolve complex financial matters.

Bankruptcy, Insolvency and Receivership

Our team of insolvency lawyers assist clients in minimizing losses and recovering amounts owed. Acting for senior secured lenders in appointing receivers, our litigators represent creditors in proceedings under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) and Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), petitioning debtors into bankruptcy, and resolving priority disputes among creditors.

We are also retained by receivers and bankruptcy trustees to advance court actions for the recovery of assets. Where there is no conflict with our creditor clients, we advise debtors on restructuring strategies to obtain relief from debt obligations.

Commercial Lending and Borrowing

Lindsay Kenney lawyers regularly advise both borrowers and lenders on commercial lending transactions involving individuals, businesses, and financial institutions. Our team facilitates loan transactions for commercial real estate and business acquisitions, structures and documents complex financing arrangements, and guides corporate restructuring and refinancing. We also assist clients in navigating the transactional and regulatory complexities of commercial lending.

Private Lending and Borrowing

Advising clients on a range of private lending and borrowing transactions, our lawyers act on behalf of both private lenders across various sectors and borrowers in private financing arrangements.

Our services include structuring loans and related security, conducting due diligence, and registering security against a range of collateral. These transactions may arise when traditional financing limits are reached, structured lending criteria cannot be met, or short-term (or bridge financing) is required.

We also assist with properly documenting loans between related parties. Given the varied complexity of private lending arrangements, it is essential to obtain legal advice early in the process.

Debt Collection and Creditor Remedies

Lindsay Kenney LLP provides strategic advice to both creditors and debtors in matters involving loan recovery or restructuring. Whether you are seeking to recover funds or revise loan terms, our lawyers can guide you through your legal options and help protect your financial interests.

We advise on both secured and unsecured lending arrangements, including mortgages, personal property security agreements, conditional sales agreements, leases, and promissory notes. Our team is experienced in pursuing pre- and post-judgment remedies, including court orders and injunctions to secure assets. If you require legal guidance before taking further steps, we are here to help you navigate your options efficiently and cost-effectively.

Foreclosure and Personal Property Enforcement

Lindsay Kenney LLP offers comprehensive enforcement and recovery solutions for secured investments, including mortgages and assets secured under the Personal Property Security Act.

Our team handles the full lifecycle of enforcement, from initial document review and issuing demand letters to court proceedings, property management, eviction, and final sale. Our lawyers also manage enforcement against other secured assets such as vehicles, equipment, and inventory. Whether you require recovery through foreclosure, PPSA remedies, or sale and possession orders, LK Law is equipped to act quickly and strategically to protect your investment.

Restructuring

Assisting businesses in financial distress, we review legal options and develop strategic responses to insolvency risks. Our lawyers represent debtors in formal insolvency proceedings under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), helping to secure new financing, negotiate proposals or plans of arrangement, or manage an orderly liquidation. Whether the goal is recovery or wind-down, we work to protect the interests of the business, its directors, and its shareholders.
