TITLE CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
Carruthers & Roth, P.A. has substantial experience in complex commercial litigation through its representation of financial institutions as well as many closely held businesses and construction contractors. C&R also has substantial experience in the development, purchase, sale, leasing and financing of virtually all types of commercial properties including apartment complexes, office buildings, shopping centers, industrial parks and senior living communities.

C&R has merged these two disciplines into title claims representation by relying on the transactional experience of its real estate lawyers to review and evaluate title claims for the purposes of finding efficient and effective resolutions to title claims as a first priority. When a quick resolution is not practical, C&R uses the resources of our real estate litigation practice to map out an effective litigation strategy that is then implemented and pursued by experienced commercial litigators who work closely with C&R's real estate attorneys to achieve the results desired by its clients. This approach allows real estate attorneys to resolve real estate issues while drawing on many facets of the firm's expertise in such varied disciplines as real estate law, bankruptcy law, construction law, estate administration law, and of course, litigation.

Christopher J. Vaughn, a commercial real estate attorney with C&R, leads our title claims and disputes group and coordinates all of the claims work for the firm.

ENVIRONMENTAL
We counsel our clients on a wide variety of environmental issues, including regulatory compliance, governmental clean up actions, environmental assessment analysis, enforcement litigation, worker safety, toxic tort litigation, informational reporting requirements, municipal water and sewer projects, waste disposal practices, permit applications, insurance coverage disputes, asbestos removal, and lender liability. We regularly interact with governmental agencies such as the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the United States Environmental Protection Agency regarding the interpretation and application of state and federal environmental laws and regulations.

We also coordinate with other attorneys in the firm to provide our clients with the information necessary to understand the sometimes significant and unanticipated implications of environmental laws on personal and business planning, business organization, real estate transactions, and creditors' rights. We work with our clients to develop creative approaches to the environmental aspects of their business transactions.
