Disputes can come up in even the most carefully negotiated real estate transactions or agreements. When litigation is likely to, or does, result, owners, landlords, investors, management companies, lenders, tenants, and others need counsel that can review the matter and bring a strategic approach to resolving the matter and helping clients have the best chance they can to achieve their objectives.
We work with attorneys throughout our firm in related disciplines. These partnerships enable us to comprehensively address our clients’ needs, as well as access legal resources necessary to maximize opportunities and avoid unnecessary risks before, during, and after litigation. When necessary, we work with our transactional real estate, construction, appellate, business, and bankruptcy attorneys to address our client’s needs capably and fully.
We handle a myriad of different real estate matters. Issues can range from, but are not limited to: commercial contracts and lease litigation; residential and commercial unlawful detainer; land use disputes; timber trespass claims; easement right disputes; title disputes; purchase and sale litigation; mechanics’ lien claims; American with Disability Act (“ADA”) litigation; environmental impact claims; and premises liability.
