Section Description
This Course will examine the law and practice of buying, selling, leasing and financing real estate. During the semester we will explore themes inherent in real estate transactions, including the role of the lawyer, primary client risks that real estate transactional lawyers need to understand, and the tools that real estate attorneys bring to the identification, allocation, and management of those risks. This course is about real estate deal making and the myriad ways attorneys structure transactions, negotiate and draft documents, engage with clients, and resolve disputes. A primary focus of the course is a detailed examination of many of the material documents used in real estate deals.
