Decades of Experience in Real Estate Law
Our lawyers can help anyone with contract negotiation and drafting:
- Buy-sell agreements. We can negotiate or draft a purchase agreement and related documents for a commercial or residential real estate transaction.
- Fluctuating interest rates provide an opportunity for many of our clients to refinance their mortgages. We can advise you about your refinance options and review the proposed terms.
- We have years of experience negotiating, drafting, revising, and reviewing commercial and residential leases. There is always a risk you get locked into an unfavorable lease, but we can negotiate to make the lease as favorable as possible.
- Knoxville, like other cities, has a complicated zoning system. We can review your proposals for how to develop a tract of land and represent you before the zoning board.
Hiring a lawyer upfront often saves our clients headaches later. We can listen to your concerns and find legal solutions that work for you.
Contact Disputes & Resolution
Even the best drafted contract cannot prevent all disputes. Some real estate disputes arise after an inspection uncovers defects on the property. When dealing with leases, certain breaches by the landlord or tenant make continuing the lease untenable. Real estate contracts create enforceable rights between the parties, and you should fully understand your options.
Some contracts require mediation or arbitration as alternatives to litigation. Mediation can help parties resolve a dispute in a cost-sensitive manner with the help of a trained mediator. Our firm can devise a mediation strategy and represent your interests. We also understand the arbitration system and how we can use it to your benefit.
Some contract disputes involve:
- Fraud and misrepresentation: the other side presented false information to induce you to enter the contract.
- Nonperformance: either side might fail to perform their obligations under the contract. With a lease, this could involve failing to pay rent or make necessary repairs to the property.
- Eviction: A landlord might need to force a tenant out of the property, and there is a legal eviction process in place which landlords must follow.
- Foreclosure: Default on a mortgage typically leads to the lender foreclosing. Owners might be able to hang onto the property if they hire a lawyer to negotiate on their behalf.
