Our clients, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to private investors, developers, borrowers, lenders, insurers, and hotel owners and operators, rely on us for our deep understanding of real estate law and our ability to manage even the most nuanced and high-stakes conflicts.

We handle disputes across the entire spectrum of real estate litigation, including commercial leasing disputes, mortgage-backed securities litigation, land use challenges, partnership disputes, joint venture disagreements, zoning and regulatory challenges, and receivership actions. Our practice also extends to complex financial litigation involving project finance, distressed assets, loan restructurings, insolvency, and creditor-debtor disputes. Our approach is both proactive and client-focused. We understand that real estate disputes often involve significant financial stakes and complex relationships, and we work to resolve these matters in a way that protects our clients’ interests while minimizing disruption to their business operations. When litigation is necessary, our attorneys are aggressive advocates, with experience in state and federal courts, as well as alternative dispute resolution forums, including arbitration and mediation.

We have a track record of securing favorable outcomes for our clients through negotiation, settlement, or, when necessary, trial. With our real estate litigation practice fully integrated with our firm’s broader capabilities, including tax, business restructuring, corporate, and regulatory expertise, we are uniquely positioned to provide a holistic approach to dispute resolution. Our litigation team collaborates with colleagues across our global network to ensure that our clients benefit from the full spectrum of legal services, enabling us to tackle cross-border disputes and multi-jurisdictional challenges with ease. Our notable successes include representing major financial institutions in disputes over high-value loan portfolios, resolving complex partnership disputes in significant development projects, and successfully defending high-profile landlords in litigation involving commercial lease enforcement. Through our experience and market insight, we provide clients with the clarity and strategy necessary to resolve their disputes, whether through negotiated settlements or litigation.
