About the Program

This webinar will explore ethical issues that occur in major real estate development projects for the transactional attorney. Our panelist will cover key considerations for the initial client consultation, specifically those related to entity formation and ownership structure; identifying the client and the scope of representation; the importance of the engagement letter; conflicts of interest, including unwaivable and springing conflicts; and the termination of the engagement and management of client files. Complex real estate developments generally involve multiple parties and various phases which can occur over a substantial period of time. The discussion will also explore the ethical issues that arise during each stage of the development process, as well as the applicable California Rules of Professional Conduct, relevant case law, and ethics opinions.

This program is presented by the Business Law section and co-sponsored by the Real Estate Law sectionFind out more about the sections at BHBA.org.
