Overview
O’Hagan Meyer advises and represents businesses, property owners, lenders, insurers, developers, boards, and community associations in real estate transactions, operations, and disputes. Combining litigation skills with practical business counsel, we help clients protect assets, manage risk, and resolve disputes effectively and efficiently.
Our attorneys handle commercial real estate transactions and disputes involving acquisitions, sales, leasing, development, financing, and related business arrangements. We regularly assist clients with reviewing, negotiating, and drafting purchase and sale agreements, leases, financing documents, easements, and development agreements, and we represent clients in disputes arising from those transactions.
Our team’s combined general counsel and insurance defense experience gives us insight into how real estate issues evolve from transactional decisions and day-to-day operations through claims, litigation, and resolution. This enables us to assess exposure early, anticipate liability and coverage issues, and develop integrated strategies aligned with both immediate objectives and long-term business goals.
We represent clients in matters involving:
- Commercial real estate acquisitions and sales
- Commercial leasing, including landlord-tenant disputes, subleases, and assignments
- Development agreements and real estate financing matters
- Real estate-related contract and business disputes
- Construction and construction defect claims
- Property ownership, easement, and boundary disputes
- Premises liability and property damage claims
- Multi-party commercial and real estate litigation
- Covenant enforcement and governance disputes involving condominiums and community associations
We advise clients through all phases of transactions and disputes, including due diligence, pre-litigation strategy, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, trial, appeals, and post-judgment proceedings. While we are always trial-ready, we emphasize practical, business-focused solutions that minimize disruption, control costs, and preserve important commercial and community relationships.
A substantial portion of our practice is dedicated to condominium, homeowners’, and community associations. We serve as ongoing counsel on governance, compliance, governing documents, collections, operational issues, and risk management, and we defend associations, boards, property managers, and owners in disputes involving:
- Fiduciary duty and governance claims
- Premises liability and personal injury claims
- Housing discrimination and fair housing disputes
- Construction and property damage claims
- Defamation and reputational claims
- Covenant, rule enforcement, and owner disputes
With experience spanning commercial real estate transactions, leasing, financing, construction disputes, insurance matters, and complex commercial litigation, O’Hagan Meyer provides practical, business-minded counsel and effective advocacy focused on protecting clients’ property interests, operations, and future.
