Mattison Chinneck

A litigator’s eye for risk

Mattison Chinneck is a co-founder of Reside Properties and a partner at Loopstra Nixon LLP. His legal practice spans commercial litigation, real estate litigation, contracts, labour and employment, and police law, work that regularly involves high-stakes, time-sensitive disputes, including urgent injunctive relief such as Mareva and Anton Piller orders. That background gives Reside something most small developers lack: a partner who can see the risk in a deal before it becomes a problem.

What he brings to Reside

Development lives and dies on structure and paperwork that most people only think about once something has gone wrong. Mattison handles the other side of the build, how projects and partnerships are structured, how agreements are drafted and reviewed, and how risk is identified and managed before ground breaks rather than litigated afterward. For the owners and investors who back Reside’s projects, that discipline is a large part of what makes the model safe to participate in.
