Real property disputes reach into everything Florida builds, buys, and leases. Lawson Huck Gonzalez represents owners, developers, investors, lenders, landlords, and tenants in disputes over purchase and sale agreements, commercial leases, title and boundary issues, easements, development rights, and the contracts that govern real estate projects — in courts throughout the state.

Because our bench pairs real estate litigators with attorneys who have developed, financed, and managed property themselves, we understand the underlying economics of a deal gone sideways — and we shape litigation strategy around the asset, not just the argument.

How we handle real estate cases

  • Deal-aware litigation. Strategy that accounts for financing, timing, and the asset’s ongoing operation while the dispute is pending.
  • Transaction-to-trial coverage. Counsel through demand, suit, trial, and appeal — including emergency relief where a project or closing is at risk.
  • Cross-practice strength. Deep integration with the firm’s construction and commercial litigation teams on development disputes.
