FCT’s Legal, Risk & Compliance team has been named an Excellence Awardee for Banking and Financial Services Law Department of the Year at Lexpert’s Canadian Law Awards, recognizing leading legal teams across Canada.
“What makes this meaningful isn’t just the nomination itself, but how and why we got here – the way this team shows up, supports one another, and consistently delivers,” explained Rob V. Budhwa, VP, Legal, Risk & Compliance at FCT.
Operating within one of Canada’s most highly regulated industries, the team plays a key role in ensuring transactions remain secure, compliant, and aligned with evolving regulations. Their work spans title insurance claims, lender compliance assessments, and strategic legal guidance across the business.
Over the past year, the team led the implementation of new FINTRAC reporting requirements and Retail Payment Activities Act obligations, while collaborating with regulators to ensure practical and effective frameworks.
They also continue to drive innovation, including the implementation of new contract management systems, enhanced identity verification processes, and responsible AI practices.
Being named an Excellence Awardee highlights the team’s expertise, collaborative approach, and leadership in supporting FCT’s role as a trusted partner in real estate transactions across Canada.
