What Is Real Estate and Construction Litigation in Las Vegas?
Real estate and construction litigation involves legal conflicts related to the acquisition, development, financing, and improvement of property. These disputes can arise from breaches of contract, zoning complications, construction defects, or disagreements over ownership and payment.
Often, these matters involve overlapping interests and competing priorities. A developer may face permit delays due to municipal resistance. A subcontractor might allege unpaid invoices while the general contractor raises workmanship concerns. In more serious cases, a project may be halted due to structural issues or environmental violations.
Common Real Estate and Construction Disputes
At Hone Law, we provide litigation support across the full range of property and construction-related disputes.
Contract Disputes Between Owners, Developers & Contractors
We handle litigation involving breach of construction contracts, project delivery delays, scope disagreements, and change order conflicts. Our attorneys ensure contract terms are enforced and disputes are resolved swiftly and effectively.
Construction Defects
Our team litigates claims involving defective design, poor workmanship, material failures, and code violations. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in complex defect cases, including multi-party construction claims and insurance-backed defenses.
Mechanic’s Liens and Payment Claims
Disputes over nonpayment often lead to mechanic’s lien filings, which can cloud property titles and trigger foreclosure actions. We litigate lien priority issues, enforce payment rights, and challenge improper filings on behalf of owners, developers, and contractors.
Title, Boundary & Easement Disputes
We represent clients in cases involving disputed property lines, encroachments, adverse possession claims, and easement access conflicts. These matters often require land surveys, historical deed analysis, and aggressive representation in court.
Permitting & Zoning Challenges
Our attorneys help navigate disputes involving denied permits, conditional use restrictions, and zoning violations. We also represent clients before planning commissions and administrative bodies to resolve land use challenges.
Breach of Fiduciary Duties in Property Ventures
In real estate joint ventures, fiduciary obligations are often overlooked until disputes arise. We litigate claims of mismanagement, opportunity diversion, and investment capital misuse among real estate partners and managing entities.
Our team understands the legal, financial, and logistical pressures tied to these disputes. We craft litigation strategies that protect your project timeline, reputation, and long-term property value.
The Construction & Real Estate Litigation Process
Real estate and construction cases often involve layers of contracts, technical evidence, and multiple stakeholders. We guide clients through each phase with a disciplined, problem-solving approach:
Early Case Assessment & Strategy Development
We review key documents—contracts, plans, permits, correspondence—and evaluate liability exposure and potential remedies.
Legal Filings & Case Framing
We prepare claims and defenses with clarity and force, including claims for specific performance, injunctive relief, and damages tied to construction defects or contract breaches.
Discovery & Expert Coordination
We engage construction experts, engineers, and forensic accountants to uncover project deficiencies, cost overruns, or causation issues. Depositions and document discovery are used to isolate liability and support our case theory.
Motion Practice
We seek early resolution through dispositive motions or compel arbitration under contract provisions where applicable.
Settlement Negotiations & ADR
We explore opportunities for settlement, mediation, or neutral evaluation—often essential in time-sensitive real estate matters—while keeping litigation leverage in reserve.
Trial or Arbitration
When resolution isn’t possible, we proceed decisively to trial or binding arbitration, presenting technical and legal issues clearly and persuasively.
Post-Judgment Remedies
We enforce judgments through liens, garnishment, or post-trial motions and handle appeals when necessary.
Real Estate and Construction Matters We Handle
At Hone Law, we tailor our approach to the structure, complexity, and financial stakes of your dispute. Representative matters include:
Developer Disputes & Project Halts
We represent developers in cases involving project shutdowns, lender conflicts, failed partnerships, and disputes with contractors or municipal bodies.
Contractor & Subcontractor Conflicts
We prosecute and defend claims involving scope changes, back charges, labor disputes, and cascading delays on multi-tiered construction projects.
Construction Defect Litigation
Our firm represents owners, developers, and builders in defect claims involving water intrusion, HVAC failure, foundation cracks, and code violations. We coordinate expert reports, repair estimates, and insurance coverage strategies.
Real Estate Investment Conflicts
We litigate disputes involving misrepresentations in property sales, failed commercial leases, breach of development agreements, and disputes among joint venture members.
Commercial Lease & Property Management Disputes
Our attorneys handle landlord-tenant litigation involving breach of lease, failure to maintain property, build-out issues, and unlawful detainers.
Our Approach to Construction & Real Estate Litigation
Property and development disputes require more than legal theory—they demand practical, industry-aware solutions. At Hone Law, we align our strategy with your commercial goals, whether preserving a stalled project, protecting a long-term asset, or defending against disruptive claims.
We work closely with project managers, contractors, engineers, and consultants to build factual narratives that hold up in court. Our team focuses on eliminating uncertainty early—through pre-litigation guidance, contract enforcement strategies, and smart dispute resolution tactics.
When litigation is unavoidable, we move with focus and precision to protect your position, minimize project disruption, and achieve the best possible outcome.
Pre-Litigation Risk Mitigation
Disputes are often predictable and preventable. Hone Law assists clients with proactive risk management by reviewing contract language, identifying liability pitfalls, and responding to early warning signs.
We conduct internal assessments on active construction projects, review payment chains for lien exposure, and evaluate development deals for zoning or title risks. Our goal is to preserve relationships where possible and prevent litigation before it starts.
When Litigation Is Necessary
When property rights or millions in project value are on the line, litigation may be the only option. Our attorneys regularly appear in:
- Nevada state and federal courts
- Construction arbitration panels
- Real estate mediation and dispute resolution forums
- Local zoning boards and administrative hearings
