Real Estate Litigation

For an individual or a business, real estate is most often the most significant asset in their portfolio. When disputes arise, it is therefore imperative a resolution is arrived at as quickly as possible. However, many real estate matters are complex and involve a range of different legal areas as well as multiple parties. It is important to look to an experienced Austin real estate litigation attorney to protect your interests.

The Real Estate Contract

Every real estate transaction has a real estate contract that forms the foundation of the deal. It is an oversimplification to suggest most real estate disputes are essentially contract disputes, but how well the contract is written and how enforceable it is when a dispute arises are fundamental to a resolution.

The Role of an Austin Real Estate Litigation Attorney

Not all real estate disputes end up in a Texas court room; in fact most do not. It is, however, important to have an experienced Austin real estate litigation attorney represent you if it is necessary to pursue a lawsuit. A complete understanding of the issues is necessary before it can be determined whether negotiation or mediation can provide a productive outcome that will allow all parties to move forward. Additionally, many real estate contracts contain an arbitration clause that may make arbitration mandatory before either party proceeds with litigation.
