- Construction LitigationIf you are involved in a disagreement regarding any type of real estate or construction contract, this matter needs attention immediately. Small disputes can quickly escalate without professional intervention. However, taking steps beforehand, in the planning and preparation stages of a construction project, may help to minimize the potential for liability in any type of construction dispute. Having a solid contract is necessary to protect your interests. When a contract is professionally drafted and reviewed by a real estate attorney, it becomes an enforceable legal instrument in the event a vendor or developer defaults on their obligations. The contract needs to be revised and updated for the specifics of each project. Dispute resolution provisions should be included in the contract so that all parties understand the process for breach of the contract. In addition, documenting interactions through the contractual relationship can strengthen your case in a construction lawsuit.
- Real Estate TransactionsToo often people wait too long to obtain legal counsel and retain the skills of a seasoned real estate litigator. As soon as you realize that there are circumstances pertaining to a real estate transaction or property that you either own or are planning on purchasing, it is extremely important that you contact a real estate lawyer. By retaining an attorney early, you may save yourself a lot of time, trouble and grief that will result from trying to resolve the problem on your own. A knowledgeable lawyer will know which steps to take in an effort to reduce increasing hostility and can work vigorously to prevent the situation from escalating further. However, there are some situations where litigation is inevitable. Having an experienced lawyer on your side prior to litigation is greatly beneficial, as they will already be familiar with the background of your case and possess the information necessary to take immediate action.
