Documents to Bring for development, partnership and investor disputes Review

By Josef Timlichman, Attorney

Published · Last updated

Short answer

When a development project or property investment goes off course, start with the agreements and money trail. We review your role, what was promised and the decisions that led to the dispute.

Start with the agreement and the timeline

Save a complete copy of the agreement, including attachments and amendments. Write down the main dates. If you do not know a date, mark it as uncertain.

  • Keep signed ownership, development and investment agreements.
  • Save contribution records, budgets and distribution statements.
  • Organize project updates, meeting minutes and approval messages.
  • Identify disputed decisions and missing records without guessing.
  • Preserve financing, construction and buyout correspondence.

Explain what changed

We organize the ownership records, contributions, project budget and distributions. Tell us what changed, who made the decision and which records you can still access. Separate your own knowledge from what others told you.

Keep messages in their original form. Include records that contradict your account. A complete file helps us give useful advice.

Do these documents prove a legal claim?

We can discuss the records you have before you collect everything. Do not wait for a perfect file to ask for a meeting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I arrange a review before all documents are available?
