Commercial Real Estate Litigation Cases We Handle
Commercial real estate disputes often intersect with complex business contracts, fraud, and land use regulations. We represent clients across a wide range of commercial real estate litigation matters.
1. Breach of Commercial Lease & Landlord-Tenant Disputes
We advocate for both commercial landlords and corporate tenants in complex lease disputes involving non-payment of rent, unlawful detainer/eviction proceedings, maintenance or repair obligations, holdover tenancy, and breaches of restrictive covenants or continuous operation clauses.
2. Commercial Contract & Transactional Disputes
When buyers, sellers, or brokers fail to perform under purchase and sale agreements, we handle cases involving specific performance, earnest money deposit disputes, breach of contract, real estate fraud, and intentional non-disclosure of critical physical or structural defects.
3. Construction & Development Litigation
Delays, cost overruns, and structural failures can halt a commercial venture. We represent developers, owners, contractors, and design professionals in construction defect litigation, mechanic’s liens, delay damages, and contract performance disputes.
4. Zoning, Land Use & Historic Building Appeals
Navigating local zoning boards and land use regulations in Philadelphia—especially regarding historical preservation buildings—presents severe regulatory challenges. We represent developers and property owners in zoning appeals, land use conflicts, variances, and municipal compliance disputes.
5. Title, Boundary & Ownership Disputes
Ownership disputes that include unclear title, boundary encroachment, access issues, and co-owner deadlocks can stall development or sales.
We aggressively pursue and defend:
Quiet Title Actions to resolve title defects or ownership clouds.
Boundary & Trespass Litigation involving easements, rights-of-way, and physical encroachments.
Partnership & Joint Venture Dissolution disputes over profit distribution, asset division, or decision-making authority.
6. Financing, Mortgage & Tax Sale Litigation
Development funding disputes with lenders can freeze capital. We assist commercial borrowers and lenders with mortgage enforcement, predatory lending claims, foreclosure defense, and tax sale litigation.
Strategic Dispute Resolution Tailored to Philadelphia's Real Estate Market
Not every real estate conflict needs to end in a lengthy trial. In Philadelphia and surrounding Pennsylvania jurisdictions, local court procedures strongly encourage mediation and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods.
Our process begins with a comprehensive evidence review: evaluating contracts, surveying title reports, analyzing financial records, and investigating party performance.
Early Intervention & Settlement – By stepping in early, we frequently resolve disputes through negotiation or structured mediation, minimizing impact on your cash flow and operations.
Aggressive Court Advocacy – If opposing parties refuse to negotiate in good faith, our trial lawyers build a compelling, evidence-backed case to vigorously protect your interests in court.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Real Estate Litigation
What are the most common causes of commercial real estate litigation in Philadelphia?
Common issues include commercial lease breaches, failure to close on purchase contracts, zoning and land use appeals, partnership/joint venture disputes, mechanics' liens, and undisclosed environmental or physical defects. Historical building compliance in Philadelphia also frequently generates regulatory disputes.
Should I try mediation before filing a commercial real estate lawsuit?
Yes, in many cases, mediation or direct negotiation is required by the lease or purchase contract or recommended by local court rules. Mediation can save substantial time and money. However, if the opposing party is actively harming the property or breaching an agreement, court intervention (such as an injunction or Lis Pendens) may be required immediately.
How does commercial real estate litigation differ from residential litigation?
