Real Estate Litigation

Overview

When complications arise in the course of commercial real estate or construction, we draw on our deep experience in real estate law to confidently and competently advance our clients’ interests.

The worlds of commercial real estate and construction are contentious. Disputes are not uncommon. Our clients come to us because they need experienced lawyers who can negotiate a cost-effective outcome and, if necessary, represent them aggressively at trial.

We have tried and won a broad spectrum of real estate related cases, including eminent domain cases, and our lawyers also have extensive experience in construction related cases.

When businesses in this arena need an effective advocate who can speak their language and get the job done, we are here to provide the business-minded legal counseling and representation they need.

  • Working closely with Parker Hudson’s Real Estate Transactions practice group on complex cases, as well as the firm’s many other litigation practice groups as needed
