Commercial real estate disputes are more complex than residential real estate disagreements. There is often more money at stake. In addition, there is often an extensive and customized contract that governs the transaction. In a lengthy contract, a missing clause or even a missing comma can spark a disagreement. Two parties can also disagree over the meaning of a contract. One misplaced comma can change the meaning of an entire contract term. Commercial real estate litigation often occurs at the end of a long dispute between contractual parties. They may have a protracted disagreement that they cannot resolve. In other words, these lawsuits rarely happen out of the blue.
