Overview

This program will not be a lecture full of slides. Instead, it will be a group discussion led by an attorney who defends other attorneys in professional liability matters. Topics will include not just risks for attorneys in the real estate space, but solutions to prevent those risks, or ways to mitigate them should they arise. The program will cover issues important for those handling all aspects of real estate practice. Learning objectives include better use of engagement letters to avoid risks; the current rise in wire fraud claims, and how to avoid such claims; and how to best protect yourself from ethical issues arising from conflicts of interest, among other topics.

Recorded in December 2024.
