Real Estate Litigation
Real Estate Litigation: Residential and Commercial
There are two broad categories of real estate-based litigation. The first, residential real estate litigation, involves disputes regarding a personal home, town home or other residential real estate property. It may involve a dispute regarding the purchase or sale of residential property as well as a title dispute or land use dispute.
The second broad category of real estate litigation involves disputes over commercial real estate. These disputes may involve real estate developers, investors, purchasers or sellers of commercial real estate. Commercial real estate litigation may involve a wide range of property including office space, retail space and any other property used for commercial purpose.
