As a condominium and corporate lawyer, Patricia’s practice of 20 years encompasses all aspects of corporate work for condominiums including contract review, shared facilities agreement amendments, declaration amendments, communication strategies, chairing of meetings and litigation support.
Patricia supports her condominium clients in all aspects of their condominium communities by finding solutions within the statutory framework of the Condominium Act, 1998 to manage the risks condominiums face today. From Tarion to compliance to privacy to safer banking methods, the EA team is dedicated to achieving comprehensive and cost-effective solutions that work for all of Elia Associates’ clients. Our corporate clients rely on Patricia to support their financing, acquisition and structuring needs and to develop their policies and procedures in accordance with applicable laws.
She understands what it is like to be a director of Condominium Corporation because she has been one for approximately 12 years for both a multi-storey and townhouse complex.
Patricia is an active speaker, writer and participant in the condominium industry. Currently, she is working on a variety of industry related programs and committees with a view to facilitating awareness and knowledge for unit owners, directors, property managers and condominium communities as a whole. Knowledge is power.
