Real Estate Litigation Attorney

Even the most carefully executed real estate transaction may give rise to a dispute over the sale, lease, development, use, or enjoyment of a property. When disputes do arise, the parties need the advice of a legal team that can provide them with a precise analysis of their situation and the best strategy for achieving a business-oriented solution.

The real estate attorneys practicing with Thomas H. Curran Associates understand the sophisticated financing mechanisms and ownership structures that are increasingly utilized in large business and residential real estate transactions as well as the applicable rules and regulations. Our real estate litigators use a strategic approach to real estate disputes that seek to help clients reach their business goals in a cost-effective and efficient manner possible.

The experienced attorneys at the law firm of Thomas H. Curran Associates assist clients in successfully resolving a broad range of real estate disputes, including the following:

• Commercial Landlord-Tenant Disputes. The long-term nature of most commercial leases and high commercial rents means that disputes between a landlord and a commercial tenant can damage both parties financially over a long period. Our attorneys have decades of experience representing clients involved in commercial leasing agreements and are skilled in resolving landlord-tenant conflicts with minimal business disruptions.
• Purchase Agreement Disputes. Most contracts for real property sales are memorialized in a purchase and sales (P&S) agreement outlining the terms to which the buyer and seller have agreed. The attorneys at Thomas H. Curran Associates have extensive experience drafting P&S agreements for property sales that ensure the client’s interests are protected. When there is a disagreement over a P&S agreement, our lawyers will represent clients involved in dispute resolution or legal proceedings.
• Easement and Covenant Disputes and Liability. Easements allow a landowner to confer upon another the right to use a portion of a property for a stated purpose. Covenants are agreements in which the landowner agrees to undertake–or not take–specific actions concerning their property. Our lawyers have the experience needed to draft easements and covenants and to represent clients involved in disputes involving either.
• Zoning & Permitting Disputes. Local governments regulate real estate development through the use of zoning ordinances and the permitting process. The real estate attorneys at Thomas H. Curran Associates have the skills needed to represent clients before zoning boards and guide them through the permitting process. In cases when zoning or permitting disputes cannot otherwise be resolved, an attorney from our firm will have the extensive experience necessary to successfully advocate on behalf of clients in court.
• Mortgage/Lien Litigation. A mortgage is a lien that has been placed on a property by a lender to secure a loan–often the loan used to purchase the property. However, sometimes disputes arise over the mortgage and our attorneys are experienced at both negotiating out-of-court solutions and representing the parties in litigation.

The attorneys with Thomas H. Curran Associates aim for the optimal outcome for their clients in all real estate litigation. To do so, a lawyer from our firm will take into consideration the client’s objectives to make a thorough and objective strategic assessment of the most effective manner for achieving those objectives, including an honest appraisal of whether an out-of-court settlement would be better than litigation. However, our attorneys have extensive trial experience that consistently delivers favorable results for clients through litigation.
