Real Estate Litigation

Lindsay Kenney has decades of experience assisting clients with disputes that arise in the context of real estate transactions, including disputes relating to: 

• contracts for the purchase of houses of condominiums in new developments;
• contracts for the sale of existing residential properties;
• liability for real estate agent’s commission; 
• material misrepresentations or non-disclosure of defects; and
• amounts owing under tax assessments.

Regardless of the market conditions, we regularly assist buyers and sellers of real property when there is a dispute about the interpretation of the contract or about the enforceability of an accepted offer.  In rising or falling markets, we are often engaged to provide clients with legal advice and representation regarding a collapsed sale.

It is essential to obtain legal advice as soon as there is an indication that the other party to the contract may not comply with their contractual obligations. Our real estate litigation lawyers can provide the guidance needed to preserve our clients’ legal rights at any time before or after the contract of purchase and sale is signed, and particularly at the critical time around the scheduled completion date. 

If you require representation on any real estate dispute, including claims for damages arising out of the failure of a buyer or seller to comply with the terms of the contract, please contact one of the lawyers listed below for a consultation.
