Real estate disputes can cause significant disruption, distraction, and financial risk. At One Legal Square, our experienced team works proactively to help clients avoid disputes wherever possible, while providing strong, effective resolution when they arise. We combine deep litigation expertise with close collaboration across our core real estate transactional practices, ensuring seamless support throughout the property lifecycle.
Our litigators and dispute resolution specialists work hand-in-hand with colleagues specialising in development, permitting, environmental, design and construction, leasing, hospitality, and REITs. This integrated approach allows us to deliver practical, commercially focused solutions that protect our clients’ interests and minimise risk.
We represent a wide range of stakeholders including investors, owners, operators, developers, hotel management companies, lenders, landlords, tenants, and REITs in disputes involving all types of property and asset classes. Our experience covers:
Our proactive approach begins at the transaction stage. We draft and negotiate robust dispute avoidance provisions into agreements including clear allocation of risk, dispute resolution mechanisms, and exit strategies to position our clients strongly should issues arise later.
When disputes do emerge, we aim to resolve them efficiently and cost-effectively, often through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration, avoiding the need for lengthy and expensive litigation wherever possible. When formal proceedings are required, our litigators bring extensive courtroom experience and draw on the firm’s wider expertise in tax, securities, intellectual property, employment, and complex dispute resolution to achieve the best possible outcomes.
This multidisciplinary, integrated approach gives our clients a clear competitive advantage — we are ready to address any issue that arises during a transaction or throughout the ownership lifecycle.
