LOCATION: Zoom Video Conference
TOPIC: The intersectional relationship between due diligence and legal research in commercial transactions
SPEAKER: Melinda Moch, MLT Aikins LLP
MODERATOR: Jason Bryk, Pitblado Law
In the steady business of real estate transactions, practice standards can be key to the success of both the transaction itself and your continuing client relationship. We will discuss “best practices” and research tools for addressing legal issues respecting real property. What searches should be attended to in what situations? What do the search results actually mean? How can you / your client use the resulting information? How are property deficiencies discovered? What resources and tools are available respecting real property research? Outside of searches, how can my client protect themselves?
