Real Estate Litigation

Apis Law provides comprehensive litigation services for buyers and sellers and other parties involved in real estate disputes.  We are dedicated to protecting your interests at every stage.

​

The Importance of Legal Representation in Real Estate Litigation

Real estate transactions are complex and require an understanding of the law and the specific needs of each party involved. Even seemingly simple deals can quickly become complicated due to unforeseen issues related to financing, property titles, zoning regulations, or disputes between parties.  When a dispute arises an experienced litigation attorney is needed to protect your investment.  

​

Having an experienced real estate attorney on your side can save you time, money, and stress. An attorney can assist with:

​

• Drafting and reviewing settlement agreements to ensure all terms are clear and enforceable.

• Negotiating favorable terms on your behalf.

• Identifying and resolving legal issues such as title discrepancies, easement rights, and violations.

• Guiding you through the litigation process.

 

Our Services for Buyers and Owners

At Apis Law, we represent buyers and owners. Our experienced team works closely with clients to provide tailored legal guidance and representation. Here are some of the key services we offer:

​

Drafting and Reviewing Purchase and Sale Contracts

A purchase and sale agreement (PSA) is the foundation of any real estate transaction. It outlines the terms and conditions of the sale, including the price, contingencies, closing date, and responsibilities of each party. A well-drafted PSA helps prevent disputes and ensures that both the buyer and seller are clear on their obligations.

We work with clients to draft or review PSAs, ensuring that the terms are clear, fair, and legally binding. We also make sure that any contingencies—such as financing, inspection, or title review—are appropriately addressed. If any ambiguities or issues arise during contract negotiations, we provide expert advice and negotiation support to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients.

​

Real Estate Legal Advice and Representation in Various Transactions

In addition to purchase and sale agreements, our firm offers broad-based real estate legal advice and representation in a variety of other transactions. Some of the key transactions we handle include:

​

Construction Contracts

If you're building or renovating a property, a clear and well-drafted construction contract is essential to prevent disputes with contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers. We assist clients in drafting and negotiating construction contracts that protect their interests and set clear expectations for the work to be completed.

​

Leases

Our team provides comprehensive legal services for landlords and tenants, helping to draft, review, and negotiate lease agreements that are fair and legally enforceable.

​
