Litigation before, during, or after property development can be very costly. A wide variety of disputes can get in the way of your project, preventing you from securing land, breaking ground, continuing construction, or proceeding with occupancy.

Our approach to defending your business is centered on anticipating problems, identifying issues, and employing our project experience to clear roadblocks. Our clients are large housing companies, real estate investment trusts, developers, contractors, property managers, commercial tenants, and brokers. We represent you in federal and state courts, bench and jury trials, arbitrations, and mediation proceedings. Our priority is to dispense quickly with a claim or move efficiently and effectively through dispute resolution or court proceedings to get your project back on track.
