Let’s be honest for a moment—really honest.
In the AI era, where algorithms write briefs faster than junior associates and can summarize a 300-page affidavit before your kettle boils… what exactly is the value of these people you keep hiring?
Because so far, Blenvale, here’s what you’ve paid for:
- $400,000 for the first set of lawyers to misread the Condo Act, botch a special assessment, breach s.93 and s.115, and lead you straight into insolvency.
- A brand new legal team that has already started strong by billing:
- $1,200 for a template letter a clerk probably copy-pasted,
- $1,100 for a pre-lien that won’t survive judicial sunlight,
- who knows how much for the brilliant strategy of cutting my UpperBee access illegally,
- and, of course, the coming storm of invoices once you all realize you’ve walked yourselves into another Superior Court application.
Meanwhile…
AI can draft contracts, analyze compliance, cross-reference statutes, summarize case law, detect inconsistencies, and generate risk reports without coffee breaks, condescension, or inflated “professionalism” fees.
But sure – keep paying premium rates for people whose primary skill seems to be making your problems more expensive than they were yesterday.
In 2025, hiring lawyers like these is basically the condo-governance equivalent of buying a fax machine:
outdated, overpriced, and guaranteed to disappoint.
So here’s the ironic cherry on top:
The only reason these lawyers still exist is because your board keeps breaking things faster than technology can replace them.
If Blenvale didn’t manufacture legal disasters at industrial scale, half of Bay Street would be out of a job.
You’re welcome, Ontario’s legal economy.
