We advocate for our clients by resolving legal disputes that arise in the course of their business activities. This may include pre-litigation negotiations all the way through trial or arbitration as needed.
Here are some frequently asked questions our commercial litigation and real estate clients ask us:
We represent developers, building owners and individuals with their disputes related to real estate contracts – whether it be a contract of sale, lease or mortgage, we handle property disputes pertaining to right, title, and interest to real property and more.
A commercial litigation lawyer represents clients in disputes that arise in the course of business transactions. We bluntly advise clients of their legal options and help them weigh the relative risks between certain courses of action. That can be in the context of active court proceedings or not. We take a big-picture view of our clients’ situations and advocate zealously in and out of court.
We advise of risk and work closely with our clients to formulate action plans. If settlement is the route, we seek to leverage our experience in litigating claims to negotiate from a position of strength. Whether a matter is headed to court, already in court or before an arbitrator, every action taken from the outset is geared to prepare each case in anticipation of a possible trial. Our experience and willingness to take cases to trial puts our clients in the best position to resolve their cases favorably at any stage.

Buyers or Sellers sometimes have Seller’s regret or Buyer’s remorse and seek to cancel contracts. We advise Buyers and Sellers regarding their contractual rights and explore all legal options. Our decades of experience have given us a broad perspective. We delve into why a transaction may have gone south and work with our clients to create an effective litigation/arbitration plan and/or settlement strategy. We’d be inaccurate if we said we’ve heard it all as the reasons for someone to breach a contract are limited only by the creativity and imagination of the other side.
