Real estate litigation often involves significant financial, operational, and regulatory consequences.

That’s why our attorneys approach each case with a focus on practical solutions, strategic efficiency, and alignment with your long-term business goals.
Including:
We represent clients in every type of venue, including state and federal courts, administrative boards, zoning commissions, and arbitration and mediation settings. Our attorneys are also frequently called upon to serve as local counsel for national firms and corporate litigants needing experienced, jurisdiction-specific support.
Lewis Gianola provides more than courtroom advocacy. Our real estate litigation team integrates seamlessly with the firm’s broader practices in corporate law, banking and finance, environmental regulation, and securities. This interdisciplinary collaboration allows us to manage multifaceted legal issues that extend beyond the property itself, especially important for clients involved in complex development projects, regulatory disputes, or litigation affecting ongoing business operations.
Providing comprehensive representation to safeguard corporate interests in a broad range of disputes, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, shareholder or partnership disagreements, and complex business torts.
Defending employers against wage and hour violations, workplace discrimination claims, harassment allegations, and wrongful termination lawsuits, while advising on best practices to reduce future legal risk.
Representing clients in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, energy, and public utilities, where government oversight of licensing, permitting, land use, and compliance demands responsive legal strategy and advocacy.
Pursuing or defending appeals in state and federal courts to either reverse unfavorable trial outcomes or preserve favorable rulings, with strategic briefing and oral argument designed to shape precedent.
Guiding clients through arbitration, mediation, and other ADR forums to resolve disputes more efficiently than traditional litigation while preserving core legal rights and business objectives.
