Joy is the Principal behind MC Law and has been a powerful force within the condominium industry for over a decade. He is a vehement lawyer that focuses on governance issues and providing practical cost-effective solutions for his clients. He believes strongly in the power of community and compassion, frequently advising his clients on various solutions before “stepping in”.
“There are many reasons to engage a condominium lawyer, but sometimes it only takes a simple explanation for someone to understand what may seem like a foreign concept. Our goal at MC Law is to provide exceptional legal counsel and services on all condominium related matters, but also to provide the compassionate representation needed to navigate challenging mental health circumstances within condominium communities.”
Joy Mathews holds a Juris Doctor degree from Osgoode Hall Law School in addition to a Master’s Degree in Moral / Legal Philosophy and two Bachelor’s degrees from the University of Toronto. His area of expertise is condominium law with experience in litigation, enforcement, governance operation, Tarion coverage and common expense collection.
Joy authored the Condominium Law course materials for the Association of Condominium Managers of Ontario, previously in use for licensing property managers in Ontario and administered by the Condominium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario.
He has also written a number of articles and blogs on condominium law, some of which have been featured in industry publications or quoted in the Toronto Star or Law Times. In addition to his teaching work at George Brown College, Joy has been an invited guest instructor at Osgoode Hall Law School, Humber College, and the University of Toronto.
Holding not only a Juris Doctor but three other University degrees, education is something Joy holds dear, and so besides MC Law, he is an Adjunct Professor at York University, teaching Introduction to Law and recently appointed as the Chair of the Law Society of Ontario’s CPD Program for Condominium Law.
