Sometimes even the most meticulous document drafting cannot prevent conflict between the parties to a real estate transaction. Real estate litigation is any type of dispute arising out of real property, often involving a contractual or anticipated or actual ownership interest in real property. Real estate litigation might arise from a dispute during the acquisition or sale of property, or it could be a dispute arising out of ownership or contractual rights in a property. Real estate litigation can also arise from zoning, land use, or environmental issues associated with use or changed use of property.

Anyone with an interest in a piece of real property—a homeowner, buyer, seller, tenant, landlord, condo association, developer, lender—might require the services of experienced litigators to resolve ownership or use issues connected to that property.

When purchasing a new residence, property for a business, buying a condominium, or leasing commercial space, you should consult with experienced real estate transactional lawyers to minimize the risks of future litigation. We offer our clients a full range of real estate transactional services so that contracts reflect the true substance of the parties’ negotiations and protect everyone’s rights. However, sometimes things do not go right, and litigation is needed to protect your financial and real estate interests. This is where Rushing & Guice, with over one hundred years of experience, knows the laws and practices of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, so that your case can be managed to resolve quickly and decisively.

Boundary Disputes, Title Defect Claims, and Property Rights

Mississippi’s rich land resources—cropland, woodlands, pasture, urban, suburban, and rural communities—each present unique opportunities for development and conflict. Conflicts arise in real estate over boundaries, title defect claims, property rights, and the respective rights of property owners and the owners of easements or mineral rights in the land. Our clients get fearless representation that aims to resolve conflicts quickly and economically. We work for our clients to minimize distraction from their business goals.

When it comes to navigating the intricate world of commercial real estate in Mississippi, having the guidance and expertise of a skilled attorney is paramount. Commercial real estate transactions are multifaceted, involving complex legal regulations, substantial financial investments, and the potential for various challenges. In this context, a Mississippi commercial real estate lawyer plays a pivotal role.

Below, we delve into the ways in which these legal professionals can make a substantial difference in your commercial real estate endeavors

Commercial lease agreements are often intricate legal documents that govern long-term business relationships and significant financial commitments. Unlike standard residential leases, commercial leases must be customized to the specific operational needs of each business and property. Because of their complexity, working with an experienced commercial real estate attorney is essential—whether you are a landlord seeking to protect your property and revenue, or a tenant aiming to secure fair and flexible terms.

A lawyer can assist in drafting and negotiating the lease agreement to ensure it clearly defines each party’s rights and obligations. This includes specifying:

• Base rent and escalation clauses
• Lease duration and renewal options
• Responsibility for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance
• Use restrictions and exclusivity clauses
• Modifications, improvements, and tenant build-outs
• Early termination conditions and penalties
• Dispute resolution mechanisms, including mediation or arbitration

In Mississippi, additional considerations may arise due to local zoning regulations, environmental restrictions, and commercial code requirements. An attorney ensures your lease complies with all applicable laws and avoids common pitfalls that could result in future litigation or financial losses.

Beyond initial drafting, a real estate lawyer can also review existing leases, advise during lease renewal negotiations, and represent you in resolving disputes—whether informally or in court. Their role is critical in safeguarding your investment, minimizing risk, and ensuring the lease agreement supports your long-term business goals.

We work with developers, owners, property managers, tenants, financial institutions, and investors in all types of transactions from routine purchase agreements to complicated development plans. We assist clients with a wide range of commercial real estate needs, including:

• Build-outs
• Buying and selling
• Construction financing
• Development contracts
• Property management agreements
• Purchase financing
• Retail and industrial properties
• Zoning

For those involved in residential transactions, we provide the sound guidance, meticulous review and careful drafting of documents required to make sure that your investment and interests are protected. We work closely with many area real estate brokers and lenders and assist with securing the necessary financing.

Commercial Real Estate Disputes and Litigation

Whether it is a conflict during sale negotiations or a disagreement between neighboring homeowners over access, easements, or encroachments, real estate disputes can develop in a wide variety of circumstances. We work hard to help our clients resolve these issues in a timely, cost-effective manner so they can move forward with their lives and begin enjoying their property. We provide effective representation in all manner of real estate disputes, including:

• Foreclosures
• Construction Litigation
• Title Disputes
• Breach of Contract
• Insurance Matters
• Landlord-Tenant Disputes
• Partitions
• Disputes with Homeowners’ or Subdivision Associations

Additionally, Rushing & Guice provides title insurance services to our clients and lenders. As an agent for Chicago Title, we have extensive experience in the issuance of title policies, the analysis of various underwriting risks, and the curative actions necessary to obtain clear title.
