The Litigation and Ethics Group provides resources for (1) the resolution of real estate disputes through litigation, arbitration, mediation or otherwise, and (2) the recognition and understanding of the ethical and professionalism issues that confront real estate practitioners in the course of both the transactional and litigation sides of the practice. We keep our members abreast of developments in case law and sponsor informal presentations and formal CLE offerings on issues relevant to litigation, alternative dispute resolution, and ethics and professionalism.
