Real Estate Litigation
BartkoZankel has extensive experience in all aspects of the real estate industry and real estate litigation. We have represented many well-known retailers, developers, syndicators, and REITs as well as lenders in high-stakes litigation and workouts. BartkoZankel also has successfully represented borrowers in suits brought by major lenders, as well as defended many real estate lenders in lender liability cases. As a consequence, the firm is well-versed in the tactics and strategies employed in these disputes from both a lender’s as well as a borrower’s or guarantor’s perspective. We work with bankruptcy counsel in major bank debt restructuring efforts.
