As a real estate litigator with more than 30 years of experience, I develop and execute highly effective litigation strategies for clients with all types of commercial real estate disputes. I\'ve handled matters ranging from the repossession of a commercial passenger airplane in Toronto to a $6 million disclosure claim arising from a tax dispute over massive advertising spaces on Sunset Boulevard.I have obtained favorable results in state and federal courts, arbitrations, and before state and federal appellate courts. My broad litigation experience also benefits clients during deal negotiations and pre-litigation stages, helping them to minimize exposure and maximize recovery in the event of a future dispute.As the editor of Thompson Coburn\'s commercial real property blog, The Ground Floor, I write about critical issues surrounding the acquisition, management, and disposition of real property in California. I counsel clients on and have successfully resolved disputes involving all aspects of commercial real estate, including:• Joint ventures • Real estate funds • Acquisitions and dispositions • Ground leases, retail and office leasing• Foreclosures and receiverships • Land use, including CEQA • Environmental, including CERCLA • Real and personal property-secured loansIn addition to my real estate practice, I frequently lead other litigation efforts, including product liability, IP, and general commercial disputes. My product liability/toxic tort experience includes claims involving pharmaceuticals, asbestos, petroleum products, and agricultural products. My IP experience includes copyright and trademark disputes for a national manufacturer and a sweepstakes company.
