Real Estate Litigation

The firm has represented owners, lenders, and title companies in litigation matters.  Each of the partners has lectured extensively on topics of vital interest to those in the real estate community.  As a result, the firm’s experience in the field is both broad and deep.  Because we know our way around real estate transactions, our clients have an all-important edge in litigating transactions that have devolved into disputes. Whether it is a suit, a failed joint venture, an appeal from an adverse planning board decision, a dispute between competing mortgagees, a forged deed, or specific performance of a contract, the firm has compiled a substantial record of successes.  And while we are known for our representation of institutional clients in real estate litigation, many individuals have also taken advantage of our cache of knowledge and experience to successfully prosecute/defend their matters.  The following is a sampling of the types of cases in which we have served clients:
