We work with clients across Georgia to handle everything from simple transactions to complex disputes. Our team combines deep knowledge of real estate law with the support of our business law, litigation, and dispute resolution attorneys. That collaboration gives you a stronger strategy and a faster path to results.
Why Work With Our Atlanta Real Estate Lawyers
Real estate decisions carry high stakes. A poorly written lease, a dispute with a contractor, or an issue with your title can cost thousands and delay your plans. We help clients navigate these challenges every day, whether they are buying property in Atlanta, managing commercial space in Marietta, or resolving a dispute over inherited land in Macon.
Our goal is to protect your investment and put you in the best position to move forward with confidence.
Commercial Leases and Transactions
Our attorneys have extensive experience with commercial leases and property purchases. We review lease contracts, negotiate favorable terms, and protect you from future liabilities. We also handle development agreements, construction contracts, commission disputes, and other landlord concerns. Whether you are opening a business in Midtown or leasing a warehouse outside Atlanta, we ensure your contracts safeguard your interests.
Construction Defects
New construction and renovations can create unexpected problems. Even when purchasing an existing building, hidden defects may arise after closing. These issues can cause delays, add costs, and create major stress. Our Atlanta real estate attorneys move quickly to resolve construction defect disputes, allowing you to recover lost time and money.
Contract Disputes
Contract disputes are one of the most common sources of real estate litigation in Georgia. For example, the apartment doesn’t comply with the leasing agreement, or the closing did not occur on the contractual date. Whatever your issue, our team has seen it all and is ready to step in to enforce your rights and resolve disputes efficiently.
Evictions and Landlord-Tenant Disputes
We represent landlords in Atlanta and surrounding areas, advising on Georgia eviction procedures, lease drafting, rent disputes, and compliance with Georgia landlord-tenant laws. For commercial landlords, we also handle zoning and land-use concerns that affect lease terms.
Latent Defects
Problems with a property sometimes become apparent only after the deal is complete. If you discover hidden defects after purchase, our team will fight to secure the relief you deserve. We have successfully handled claims involving concealed property issues and can guide you through the legal process.
Promissory Notes
If you need a formal agreement to secure a loan, our attorneys have experience drafting clear and enforceable promissory notes. These protect both lenders and borrowers by setting out repayment terms and minimizing future disputes.
Partition Actions
When multiple owners cannot agree on what to do with a property, a partition action may be the only solution. We have handled cases involving tenants-in-common, joint tenants with rights of survivorship, and life estates. Our attorneys help you understand your options and work to achieve the best possible outcome.
Purchases and Sales
Whether you decide to buy or sell real estate on your own or use the help of a real estate agent or broker, a real estate attorney can be an incredible asset. For example, our attorneys can review and create contracts, as well as assess the commissions to be allocated to the agent or broker.
HOA and COA Representation
Our Atlanta HOA and COA attorneys help Georgia associations statewide stay compliant, enforce covenants, collect assessments, and resolve disputes. We assist boards with drafting and revising governing documents, collecting unpaid assessments, resolving election disputes, and handling litigation with owners, developers, or vendors. We also provide day-to-day counsel, allowing board members to focus on managing their communities effectively.
Quiet Title Actions
If your title is clouded by liens, unclear ownership, or old claims, it can prevent you from selling or refinancing your property. Our real estate attorneys frequently handle quiet title actions in Georgia to establish clear ownership rights.
Zoning, Planning, and Land Use
Zoning and land use disputes can delay or derail a project. Our attorneys represent property owners and developers in zoning challenges, variance requests, and compliance with city and county planning regulations. Whether you are developing in Atlanta or managing property in suburban counties, we ensure your project aligns with Georgia zoning laws.
