Our litigators represent clients in a wide-variety of real estate related matters, including joint ventures, purchase-and-sale agreements, financing, title insurance, landlord-tenant relationships, zoning and entitlements, construction, and an array of land use and property law issues. Whatever the challenge, clients benefit from counsel grounded in real estate law with a keen understanding of the real estate industry.
We provide early case assessments and can identify opportunities for swift resolution. When necessary, our real estate litigators advocate vigorously and successfully.

We represent clients in state and federal courts, appellate courts, regulatory proceedings, and alternative dispute forums. Our litigators are admitted in multiple jurisdictions and have shaped precedent in real estate cases of first impression in Massachusetts and beyond. Clients value our responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to combine strong advocacy with a constructive approach that preserves reputations and relationships.
