The real estate attorneys at Sanders • Pianowski, LLP have a rich historical tradition in bringing innovative solutions to real estate issues. On behalf of a financial institution client, the firm was asked to research and implement a transfer of air rights above a commercial building in downtown Elkhart. The result was the first known instance in Indiana of such a transaction, and the rights were successfully conveyed, secured by comprehensive title insurance.

The firm’s attorneys also frequently represent clients in municipal and county land use proceedings, including applications for zoning changes, special use permits and variances, as well as litigation arising from land use disputes. When litigation is unavoidable, our clients take benefit from the firm’s reputation for vigorous and tenacious advocacy. The hallmark of the firm is its proven experience in handling clients’ legal matters in a successful and cost-effective manner.
