Real Estate Litigation
This practice group blends a broad knowledge of real estate law and business practice with well-established skills in litigation and alternative dispute resolution. The Firm prides itself on its familiarity with business concepts that transcend traditional real estate issues and its ability to blend the many disciplines necessary to litigate sophisticated real estate transactions. The Firm’s real estate litigators are experienced in numerous areas, including:
- finance

- landlord-tenant relations
- brokerage, purchase, and sale transactions.
Our litigation attorneys represent home buyers, sellers, commercial real estate developers, and condominium owners in litigation involving real estate disputes. While our attorneys are well versed in the art of negotiation and dispute resolution, our attorneys prepare each case as if scheduled for trial, conducting legal research, performing discovery, drafting pleadings, and presenting oral arguments before the court. The Firm’s litigation attorneys are adept at assembling experts when necessary to establish our client's position in matters related to construction defects, design defects, environmental issues, and financial disputes. The Firm’s attorneys have extensive and successful experience representing property management companies and developers in matters pertaining to:
- Commercial lease enforcement
- Construction defects
- Design defects
- Construction liens
- Specific performance
- Purchase and sale agreements
- Deposit disputes
- Condominium and restrictive covenants
- Title or deed disputes
In addition to our practice in state and Federal trial courts, we represent clients before administrative agencies and in alternative dispute resolution proceedings, including arbitration and mediation. We collaborate with attorneys in the Firm’s other departments to assure our clients a comprehensive review of the legal and practical issues in all matters.
