Can Podlaski Attorneys handle a real estate transaction and represent us if a dispute arises later?

Yes. Our real estate attorneys handle residential and commercial purchases, sales, leases, and development matters, including drafting and negotiating purchase agreements and leases, reviewing title and survey work, and addressing zoning and land use questions. 

If a dispute arises after closing or during a lease, our litigation attorneys represent buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and developers in disputes involving purchase agreements, seller disclosures, title defects, boundaries and easements, construction and development issues, and landlord-tenant matters.

Handling both stages in one firm means the attorneys addressing the dispute already know the transaction documents, the negotiating history, and the property. A carefully documented transaction also tends to be the strongest evidence if a dispute follows.

As with any legal matter, taking on a later dispute depends on a conflict check, since we represent one side of a transaction. In most cases, the firm that handled your purchase, sale, or lease can also represent you if a dispute arises from it.
