Ethics – Residential-, Commercial-, and Government-Related Real Estate Matters (from Annual Advanced Real Estate 2023)

A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the March 2023 live seminar, 27th Annual Advanced Real Estate.

Cosponsored with the Real Property Section of the Virginia State Bar

This session discusses real-life “hypotheticals” involving the multi-faceted aspects of real estate law from representation of borrowers, lenders, developers, and government. It also explores the underlying ethics issues of conflicts, fiduciary, and ethical duties of handling funds, the scope of the representation and identification of the client, the appropriateness of a conflict waiver, the art of an effective engagement agreement, as well as the uniqueness of post-pandemic transitions happening with lawyers leaving traditional practices and engaging in remote office locations in another state or even country.
