Overview 

We are familiar with all aspects of dispute resolution, including arbitration.  More and more disputes are being arbitrated.  This reflects a growing trend to include arbitration provisions in contracts.  We can assist with two types of arbitrations, those involving real estate transactions and those involving design, development and construction.    
 
Real Estate Arbitration 
 
Arbitration is a popular mechanism for resolving real-estate disputes. In fact, many real estate contracts require arbitration as the primary method of dispute resolution. 
 
Our lawyers are experienced at resolving disputes through alternative dispute resolution.  Our attorneys can provide counsel on a myriad of matters, including the following.  

• Allegations that a seller failed to disclosure material problems to the buyer
• Allegations that a seller defrauded a buyer
• Allegations that a buyer or seller breached a purchase agreement
• Due diligence and investigation issues
• Obligations and responsibilities of brokers

Real estate disputes are often complex, requiring analyses of many issues implicating liability and injury.  If you would like to speak with an attorney about a real-estate dispute that you believe is governed by an arbitration provision, please Contact Us.  
 
Design-Development-Construction Arbitration
 
Arbitration is also a popular mechanism for resolving design, development and construction disputes. Many construction contracts require arbitration as the primary method of dispute resolution. In fact, some arbitration forums, such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA), even maintain unique procedural rules governing construction disputes.
