Real Estate: Litigation

In spite of best efforts and intentions, costly and complicated disputes often arise among those involved in the financing, purchase, development, use and sale of real estate.

To do dispute resolution right, you need a legal team with broad and deep experience within the real estate industry—a legal team that knows the law and knows your business.  At McDonough Holland & Allen PC, we can be your sole legal source for advice, planning, transactions and dispute resolution in real estate projects.

We take a preventive approach to disputes, assisting our clients with pre-litigation counseling in order to mitigate or avoid the consequences of a dispute. We also are experienced in non-binding mediation and binding arbitration—especially in the field of construction law claims and disputes.

Our real estate litigators represent clients at all levels of the state and federal court systems—in administrative proceedings, trials and appeals. We defend many title insurance companies, their subsidiaries and their insureds in hundreds of cases involving almost every imaginable title and escrow issue—including escrow performance and title insurance defense, coverage disputes and regulatory agency audits.

Our real estate litigators prosecute and defend lawsuits involving:

  • Acquisition and disposition disputes
  • Affordable housing disputes
  • Banking and financial services disputes
  • Bankruptcy disputes
  • Business entity formation disputes
  • Commercial development disputes
  • Commercial leasing disputes
  • Common Interest Development disputes
  • Construction disputes
  • Employment and Fair Housing Act disputes
  • Environmental disputes
  • Homebuyer disclosure disputes
  • Land Use disputes
  • Redevelopment disputes
  • Residential development disputes
  • Tax and 1031 exchange disputes
  • Title and escrow disputes

Our clients are individuals, public and private companies, government agencies, and institutions. They are owners, operators, investors, lenders, insurers, developers and builders who become involved in disputes at any point of a real estate project.

Our litigators are active in the American Arbitration Association (Sacramento Advisory Committee, Construction Industry Arbitration Panel and Large Complex Case Panel), various American Inns of Court, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the California Trial Lawyers Association, the Barrister’s Club of Sacramento and the Federal Bar Association. They have served as mediators and arbitrators, and on various advisory committees for state and federal courts.

When it comes to dispute resolution for the real estate industry—whether advice, planning, transaction or the disputes themselves—the lawyers at McDonough Holland & Allen PC will do what it takes to help you “Do it right.”
