Ronald A. Crane practices Corporate, Commercial and Real Property Law with Coutts Crane in Toronto. He earned his B.A. from York University in 1965, followed by his LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1968. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 1970.

Advocacy skills were developed through extensive court experience early in Ron's practice. Those skills now are used in appearances before many municipal councils, administrative boards and government bodies.

Ron's clients tend to be entrepreneurial and this calls for a lawyer, who can be flexible, practical and sensitive to the special needs of such a clientele. Listening to the needs of an ageing population has lead to a unique emphasis in senior's housing issues.

He is extensively involved with many innovative lifestyle projects for seniors including many life lease projects sponsored by not-for-profit and charitable groups throughout Ontario. Ron's experience also includes a broad range of real estate development from condominiums to commercial projects. He has written articles and given presentations on life leases and related subjects to a number of groups and organizations.

In his spare time, apart from family and recreation, Ron has done volunteer work with many organizations including the Cheshire Home Foundation, the V.O.N. and a has a long and continuing association with Rotary.
