A challenging economic environment brought on by interest rate spikes and a cooling real estate market is pushing Canada\u2019s legal practices to make some difficult choices as they look ahead to 2023.<\/p>\n

According to a recent Angus Reid Forum survey conducted by Dye & Durham<\/a>, nearly half of Canadians say that rising interest rates have caused them to delay making a real estate transaction in the next year.<\/p>\n

Among the survey\u2019s respondents, 23 per cent expect to delay home renovations or improvements and 10 per cent believe they\u2019ll delay purchasing a new home, while 19 per cent think rising rates mean it will take significantly longer to pay their mortgage than anticipated.<\/p>\n

A slowing market brought on by reduced demand for real estate is a worrisome trend for businesses and professionals with a direct interest in real estate transactions, particularly individual lawyers and smaller firms. The effects of this slowdown can\u2019t be overlooked \u2013 following a relative real estate boom in 2021, a reduction in transactions will have a significant impact on most legal practices\u2019 bottom line.<\/p>\n

Real estate is essential for Canada\u2019s \u201csmall law\u201d firms, which make up the largest segment of the legal profession. These much leaner practices \u2014 typically founder-owned and operated with a small number of partners and focused on individual rather than corporate matters \u2014 are deeply involved in real estate conveyancing from purchase and sale contracts to mortgage payments.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince about 97 per cent of all legal practices in Canada are considered small law firms, there\u2019s no doubt that the effect of rising interest rates on Canadian real estate habits will directly impact the transaction volume of the vast majority of the legal market in 2023,\u201d says Jack Mead, VP of Product at Dye & Durham Canada.<\/p>\n

But with a challenging market comes the opportunity for smaller firms and individual lawyers to change course, especially following 2021\u2019s record level of real estate purchases and sales. In some cases, the sheer volume of transactions prevented practices from growing other areas of their practices, including wills and estates, family law or litigation or executing on overall practice management goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most successful law firms will be those entrepreneurial ones that balance this reduced volume by leveraging technology to realize efficiencies and build new offerings across their practice,\u201d says Mead.<\/p>\n

Individual lawyers and smaller practices can seize new opportunities by adopting integrated digital tools to manage day-to-day operations and managing the transition to paperless offices. But smaller firms dealing in real estate face the additional challenge in 2023 of deciding which of the many software products, service providers and varied fee structures they should go with to find a cost-effective suite of solutions to grow their practice amid reduced transaction volume.<\/p>\n
