Miami, FL commercial litigation attorney Robert Zarco talks about the types of issues that give rise to commercial real estate disputes & litigation. He notes that commercial real estate disputes frequently arise during bullish markets marked by high development activity, numerous real estate funds, and complex partnerships. Such disputes often involve agreements between developers and investors, as well as collaborations among joint developers. Common issues include breaches of contract, failure to act in good faith, unfair or deceptive trade practices, and instances of fraud where parties are induced into agreements without a genuine intent to perform. The complexity of these disputes often intensifies when the market shifts from bullish to bearish, resulting in project losses and disputes over accountability.

He adds that addressing these disputes is routine for the firm, particularly when real estate projects encounter financial or operational challenges. This encompasses construction-related disputes, including deficient work, negligent contractors, and underperforming subcontractors. The firm actively manages cases across these areas, providing guidance and resolution strategies under varying market conditions.
