Description
Patrick Greco is a partner in the Condominium Law practice group at Shibley Righton LLP, where he enjoys the full perspective gained from providing both solicitor and litigation services to condominium clients.

As a solicitor, Patrick helps Boards and Property Managers navigate the day-to-day issues they face. He is a firm believer that good written and oral communication, empathy, and a pinch of humour and creativity can help condominium corporations handle even their most difficult problems. Patrick views chairing a challenging owners’ meeting as an opportunity to resolve concerns and build community. Originally a litigator by training, Patrick has represented clients on numerous matters before the Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice and Court of Appeal of Ontario. With a significant background in commercial and construction litigation, he often appears before the Licence Appeal Tribunal on Ontario New Homes Warranty Plan Act (Tarion) matters.

Patrick is frequently invited to speak at events such as the annual ACMO/CCI-T Condo Conference, CCI director events, ACMO manager luncheons and CCI – Your Condo Connection videos on topics including privacy and urveillance, the Tarion claims process, and aging in condominiums. He has made submissions to the provincial government on Bill 106 and to the independent review of the Tarion program.

Patrick also loves teaching and has been an instructor at the CCI Level 200 program, ACMO training course at Humber College, management company training and continuing education programs, and the Association of Architectural Technologists of Ontario training course. He has also written for various condominium publications on issues such as Kitec plumbing in condos.

In addition to the CCI-T Education Committee, Patrick sits on the CCI Toronto Education Committee, the CCI Golden Horseshoe Professional Partners Committee and the CCI Golden Horseshoe Conference Committee.
