Success Stories

Won Property Sale for Joint Venture Despite Competing Buyer

Our attorneys represented a joint venture in a lawsuit triggered when a seller of an undeveloped parcel of property refused to proceed with the sale as a result of a competing buyer trying to exercise a right of first refusal. Using injunctive relief and accelerated trial procedures, the joint venture purchased the property after the court rendered judgment in its favor.

Enforced Landlord Rights in COVID-Era Tenant Disputes

We represented the owner of multiple large retail centers in multiple disputes and lawsuits with tenants regarding failure to pay rent and novel issues related to the COVID-19 epidemic. We obtained judgments and negotiated resolutions to enforce the landlord’s rights and secure recovery.

Forced Seller to Complete Commercial Property Sale

Our attorneys have pursued claims on behalf of a commercial real estate developer when a seller failed to close the sale of a commercial property on the closing date. The seller agreed to sell the property during the trial before the court rendered judgment.
