Real Estate Litigation
Our attorneys earn their reputation every day by navigating a clear, results-driven legal path for our clients.
Real Estate Litigation
All the potential upsides of purchasing, selling, developing, and investing in real estate – positive cash flow, profitability, and a robust return on investment – come with an equivalent level of risk. This includes the possibility of unexpected encumbrances or title problems that may negatively impact a property’s value and transferability, as well as disputes with other parties to a transaction, neighboring property owners, or governmental entities that may seek to impinge on an owner’s rights to use and develop their property as they see fit. No matter the nature of the conflict, real estate disputes that devolve into litigation can delay or derail a lucrative transaction, put the brakes on a promising project, and lead to significant expense and disruption.
Ansell.Law’s real estate litigation attorneys possess ample and diverse experience
defending and advancing the interests of property owners, sellers, buyers, developers, investors, and others in real estate disputes of all types, values, and complexities. While always prepared to aggressively advocate for our clients in the courtroom, we also seek creative and efficient resolutions that can spare them from protracted litigation, salvage a transaction or investment, or make them whole.
Led by Ansell.Law partner Lawrence Shapiro, our real estate litigation practice is built
on a foundation of substantive legal knowledge and a deep appreciation of how much is at stake for those embroiled in real property or land use disputes. Larry complements his litigation talents and experience, including having served as a court-appointed boundary commissioner and amassing an impressive record of successful results, with the firm’s multidisciplinary capabilities in a range of intersecting practice areas. With attorneys who focus on commercial and residential real estate transactions, land use and zoning matters, community association law, finance, franchising, real estate bankruptcy disputes, and corporate law, Ansell.Law crafts holistic approaches to real estate disputes that consider all aspects, issues, and potential outcomes.
