Types of Real Estate Disputes

Commercial real estate litigation in California can take many forms. Each one presents unique challenges and legal considerations.

Here are some common types of lawsuits we encounter:

  • Fraud / Failure to Disclose Deficiencies: You’ve just acquired a seemingly pristine commercial property, only to discover significant structural issues or environmental hazards that weren’t disclosed during the sale. This breach of trust affects your bottom line and puts your reputation at risk. We can help you hold the seller accountable and seek compensation for the undisclosed defects.
  • Disputes Between Neighbors: Perhaps your neighboring business is encroaching on your property line, or their operations are causing damage to your building. These conflicts can escalate quickly, damaging professional relationships and potentially leading to costly legal battles. Our team can help mediate these disputes or represent your interests in court if necessary.
  • Disputes with Real Estate Agents/Brokers: When you entrust a real estate professional with your commercial property transactions, you expect them to act in your best interests. If an agent or broker has breached their fiduciary duty, misrepresented property details, or engaged in other unethical practices, we can help you seek recourse and protect your investments.
  • Construction Defects: Discovering subpar workmanship or code violations in your newly constructed or renovated commercial property can be devastating. These issues not only compromise the safety and functionality of your building but also lead to significant financial losses. Our firm can help you navigate the complex world of construction litigation and hold contractors accountable for their work.
  • Real Estate Investment Partnership Disputes: When partnerships sour, the consequences can be far-reaching. Disagreements over property management, profit distribution, or investment strategies can jeopardize your entire portfolio. We’re experienced in resolving partnership conflicts through negotiation, mediation, or litigation when necessary.
  • Zoning and Land Use Conflicts: Navigating California’s complex zoning laws and land use regulations can be a minefield for commercial property owners. Whether you’re facing challenges from local authorities or community opposition to your development plans, our team can help you understand your rights and advocate for your interests.
