Real Estate
Although it is preferable to negotiate the resolution of real estate disputes, it is not always possible. Sometimes the parties have to take their case to court.
Therefore, the Womble Carlyle Real Estate Practice Group has developed a specific real estate litigation practice. The lawyers who handle real estate litigation all have significant hands-on experience in the practical aspects of real estate development, including site selection, zoning and permit acquisition, contract and lease negotiation, final project disposition, drafting, construction, conveyances and loan closing. They have combined this industry-specific knowledge with extensive litigation experience to create a specialized mix of proficiencies which we believe is unique among law firms in the Southeast.
Womble Carlyle Real Estate Litigation team is ready to provide focused, sensitive and responsive assistance to any disputes in which real estate or development rights are at issue. Our experience includes handling:
