Looking to get into real estate litigation at a small Midwest firm and then eventually lateral to a large firm. Large firm people, how are your real estate litigation departments? What kind of work do they do within the real estate litigation category?

Real estate litigation tends to be all state court, so it's not the most popular practice area for large firms. The types of work I've seen go to large firms include railroad disputes, easements, TIF disputes, and foreclosures of very large commercial buildings. I don't think that it's significant enough at most firms to support a department.
