Commercial real estate offers great opportunities to owners, investors and tenants alike, but a property dispute that gets out of hand can drain the financial resources of everyone involved. It can hold up the deal or block the transaction from happening at all. At Hayes, Berry, White & Vanzant, LLP, with offices in Denton, Flower Mound, Gainesville and Celina, we have decades of experience successfully handling commercial real estate issues of all kinds and have two attorneys who are certified in Commercial and Residential real estate by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. With these credentials and our experience as mediators, we help facilitate the settlement of legal disputes over commercial real estate without the intervention of the courts.
Mediation is a confidential form of alternative dispute resolution in which the participants and their attorneys hire a neutral third party to resolve issues outside of court. Mediators for commercial real estate transactions help resolve misunderstandings and disagreements over contracts, leases, and other property issues. As mediators, we don’t make any decisions: the parties themselves must be willing to work together to reach consensus. Our job is to guide parties toward an agreement that satisfies everyone involved and keeps the transaction from failing.
We mediate a variety of commercial real estate issues, including:
We are capable of addressing any relevant legal questions the parties have and, if everyone is willing to compromise, can be effective at helping them to reach a solution everyone can live with.
Mediation provides a structured method of negotiating a settlement. The process offers you several advantages over litigating commercial property disputes:
Mediation won’t work if one or more of the parties lack the commitment to reach an agreement or when one party’s position is intractable. But for the right parties in the right situation, it offers a favorable alternative to a long, drawn-out court battle.
