Real Estate Litigation

Mintz Levin's Real Estate Litigation practice brings together attorneys who practice in the Litigation and Real Estate Sections as well as in other closely related disciplines, including Environmental Law and Communications. Our attorneys have expertise in litigating all manner of disputes arising from the ownership, development and regulation of real estate. We are able to provide our clients with comprehensive representation and cost-effective and strategically practical legal advice, based not only on extensive real estate litigation experience but also on broad transactional and valuation experience.

We handle a broad array of real estate disputes on behalf of our clients, including land use permitting, landlord/tenant, environmental, contract, telecommunications tower siting, eminent domain, and access disputes. In short, if a client is in a fight over real estate, we are ready to bring or defend the case.

Our attorneys have won at trial in jurisdictions throughout the New England states on behalf of property owners. Among our recent successes is a groundbreaking decision adopting the development community's desired interpretation of a Massachusetts zoning statute, the successful representation of a property owner with a $30 billion portfolio in a multiweek trial in Connecticut involving disputes with shopping mall tenants, and a variety of wins for the Central Artery/Tunnel Project, otherwise known as the Big Dig.
