Commission disputes inside brokerage firms rarely begin with a formal complaint. They start with a transaction that closes, money that moves, and a disagreement about who gets what and how much. For managing brokers, brokerage owners, and team leads operating in Colorado’s commercial and residential real estate markets, these disputes are not just interpersonal friction. […]

Broker commission agreements are among the most frequently litigated contracts in commercial real estate, yet many parties treat them as administrative paperwork. That is a mistake. Whether you are a developer closing on a mixed-use asset, an operator leasing medical office space, or a business owner signing a long-term commercial lease, the commission agreement controls […]

CREC brokerage agency agreements are not administrative formalities. They define authority, allocate fiduciary duties, and determine who collects a commission when a deal closes or falls apart. In Colorado, the Colorado Real Estate Commission mandates specific forms and disclosures, but the structure of those agreements still leaves substantial room for dispute. The Colorado Division of […]

A commercial lease gets signed. The business entity is the tenant. But somewhere in the document stack, often attached as an exhibit, there is a personal guarantee. Founders sign it without much pushback. Developers sign it to close the deal. And then, when the business hits a rough patch or a project stalls, the landlord […]

Commercial leases are not just occupancy agreements. They are financial instruments. The assignment and sublease provisions determine who controls the space, who carries the liability, and what happens when a business changes hands, restructures, or expands. Most disputes don’t start with a missed rent payment. They start with a transaction (a practice sale, an acquisition, […]

Triple net leases transfer operating costs to tenants. That is the underlying premise. What gets disputed is the execution: the calculation, allocation, and documentation of common area maintenance charges and whether the landlord’s accounting reflects what the lease actually requires. For retail tenants, office occupants, and medical or dental practices operating under NNN structures, CAM […]

Build-to-suit agreements are not standard lease forms with a few modifications. They are development contracts wrapped in lease language, and that distinction matters when something goes wrong. Whether the project is a medical clinic, a dental surgery center, or a commercial office build, the same structural risks apply: delivery timing, cost exposure, licensing dependencies, and […]

A joint venture agreement between a developer and a capital partner is not a handshake on shared upside. It is the document that allocates decision-making authority, cash flow priority, exit timing, and removal rights before a single shovel hits the ground. The promote waterfall is usually where disputes originate. A developer earns a promoted interest […]

The construction loan agreement is not boilerplate. It is the document that governs cash flow, controls who can call a default, and determines who carries personal exposure when a project goes sideways. For developers and real estate investors, it deserves as much attention as the purchase agreement and often gets far less. Draw schedules, lender […]

When a commercial construction project goes sideways, the dispute rarely starts with the most visible problem. It starts with a pay-if-paid clause treated as pay-when-paid. It starts with a change order approved verbally and never reduced to writing. It starts with a substantial completion certificate that the owner refuses to sign. General contractor agreements, whether […]
