Commercial Litigation

Kessler Law provides focused, result-oriented litigation representation in real estate and business disputes.

Effective litigation requires an understanding of the client’s objectives, a command of the relevant law and a thorough grasp of the facts. We work with our clients to assess the issues and risks, weigh the cost and merits of the available courses of action, and pursue the approach that best serves their interests, whether that is negotiation, mediation or trial. We have the experience to try cases and, where necessary, to pursue and defend appeals.

Because our attorneys draft the contracts, leases and loan documents that give rise to these disputes, we bring a transactional understanding to the litigation.

Our litigation practice includes:

• Disputes arising from real estate transactions, including specific performance and the return of deposits
• Escrow and post-closing disputes
• Member, shareholder and partnership disputes
• Breach of contract and contract interpretation
• Title litigation and quiet title actions
• Litigation relating to Sheriff’s sales and foreclosures
• Commercial lease and guaranty claims
• Real estate brokerage commission disputes
• Collection of business debts and rent

We represent clients in the Chancery and Law Divisions of the Superior Court of New Jersey, in the Appellate Division, and in the Florida and New York courts.
