Capabilities

Biography

Adam Weinacker represents clients confronting difficult and complex real estate problems. His litigation practice focuses on helping developers, lenders, and homeowners resolve challenging disputes efficiently and strategically. Adam regularly litigates matters involving foreclosures, title and boundary disputes, access and easement rights, trespass and nuisance claims, landlord–tenant issues, and construction defects.

Although real estate litigation is at the core of his practice, Adam also brings extensive experience handling sophisticated commercial disputes. He has represented clients in cases involving loan defaults, class actions, partnership and ownership disputes, and claims for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty—often where the financial and business consequences are significant. 

An experienced appellate practitioner, Adam has helped achieve several published decisions favorable to his clients. See State v. Bell, 380 P.3d 11 (Utah Ct. App. 2016); 2DPBlanding, LLC v. Palmer, 423 P.3d 1247 (Utah 2017); Howick v. Salt Lake City Corp., 424 P.3d 841 (Utah 2018); Motorola Solutions v. Utah Comm. Auth., 455 P.3d 91 (Utah 2019). Before joining the firm, Adam served as a law clerk for Judge Scott M. Matheson, Jr., of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit and for then-Chief Justice Christine M. Durham of the Utah Supreme Court. He also is dedicated to community involvement, having served as a member and president of the Board of Directors of the Salt Lake City Public Library System for many years.
