Real Estate Title, Escrow & Lease Matters

Accurate and efficient title and escrow services are a key component of many real estate transactions. In Oregon, title insurance has provided coverage for future claims or future losses due to title defects that were created by some past event. We have represented many national title insurance and escrow companies in claims brought in state courts in Oregon.

The best time to identify and avoid real estate lease issues is before the lease is signed. Our clients benefit from our thorough understanding of all sides of the lease negotiation process. But if a lease dispute arises, we can help you successfully negotiate a resolution of the dispute efficiently and effectively. And when negotiations fail, we have decades of successful experience resolving lease disputes through litigation and alternative dispute resolution proceedings.
