ENVIRONMENTAL, ZONING & OTHER REAL ESTATE MATTERS

Because real estate is a limited resource, issues involving resolution of competing real property interests and the use and development of real estate are frequently hotly contested. The Litigation Group has considerable experience in all types of real estate and land use litigation, including disputes involving specific performance of real estate contracts and leases, disputes over title to land, easements and rights of access, shore rights and beach rights, disputes involving appeals from grants or denials of special permits and variances under local zoning ordinances and bylaws and approvals under the Subdivision Control Law, disputes involving wetlands delineation and wetland permitting, and disputes with building inspectors and numerous other environmental and land use matters.

Members of the real estate group have extensive experience in these substantive areas and in resolving and trying these cases in the Land Court and Superior Court.
