Pamela Green comes to the firm as a partner with 25 years’ experience in real estate law. Her practice encompasses a comprehensive range of commercial real estate matters, including land development and planning; real estate acquisition, disposition and financing; mortgage remedies; real estate disputes; and general corporate commercial matters.

Over the course of her career, she has moderated and spoken at several annual Green Real Estate Conferences, conducted seminars on the unique risk and allocation of liability involved in contaminated land transactions and Brownfield developments to industry participants, hosted workshops on solar rooftop panel leasing, and provided insight on environmental legislation and corporate responsibility to media. She has also participated in workshops to develop Mississauga’s Living Green Master Plan and currently sits on the Environment, Sustainability & Infrastructure Committee of the city’s board of trade.

Outside of her legal practice, Pamela is director and secretary of Mississauga’s Legends Row (Walk of Fame) and serves as the honourary chair of the West-End Women’s Network.

Qualified to practise law in both Ontario and England & Wales, associate Sawsan Selwyn has rich experience in real estate law on both sides of the Atlantic. She represents sellers, purchasers, institutional and private lenders, real estate developers, REITS and other real estate investors in all aspects of commercial real estate transactions — including the acquisition, disposition, financing and leasing of raw land, offices, and industrial and retail properties.
