Real Estate Litigation

SLG represents individuals faced with real estate issues, including partnership disputes and related securities questions. Real estate syndications may present issues relating to registration and exemption rules governing sale of securities, anti-solicitation restrictions, and fraud and disclosure requirements. SLG's wide experience with real estate, securities, and partnership disputes provides our clients with a very real advantage in addressing matters that do not fall neatly into any one legal category.

In addition, given the continuing nature of real estate projects, conventional litigation strategies may be ineffective or counter-productive. SLG identifies core interests and develops practical solutions to support our clients’ needs, including their relationships with investors, regulators, and even adversaries.
