Real estate transactions often involve large financial investments. When a dispute arises, resolving it without a lawyer ignores the complexity of the matter and provides a buyer or seller with little, if any, protection.
At Steele Urquhart, we represent clients in disputes arising from contracts of purchase and sale of commercial or residential property, leases of commercial property, and mortgages and other financing agreements. While alternative dispute resolution can be effective, we also have extensive experience in pursuing resolution through courtroom litigation.
