William T. Stuart is a founding partner of Stuart & Soberalski LLC, a leading boutique law firm in Milwaukee, specializing in a wide range of legal services for businesses, with a primary focus on real estate law.
Bill brings a dynamic and dual practice in real estate and business litigation to the table. His exceptional work in real estate litigation led to a groundbreaking decision by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in favor of landowners in a governmental takings case. This landmark decision countered national trends and reversed contrary authority in this jurisdiction, showcasing Bill’s expertise in the field.
Bill’s transactional practice is just as impressive, with his recent work involving the development of signature multi-use towers in downtown Milwaukee. He covers nearly every facet of real estate law, from financing and construction to the purchase and sale of multi-million dollar commercial projects. He is well-versed in the litigation of disputes involving property rights and other land-use issues.
Clients of all sizes trust Bill’s extensive experience in water law rights, environmental remediation, zoning and permitting issues, construction disputes, partition cases, boundary line disputes, title claims, and foreclosure/work-out cases. His representation of purchasers, sellers, lenders, developers, brokers, condominium associations, and other businesses with property law needs make him a go-to for anyone in the industry.
In addition to his real estate practice, Bill has extensive experience in commercial litigation, having handled numerous business lawsuits, including non-compete cases, contract disputes, product liability cases, corporate fraud, and derivative claims actions.
