Legal Opinions in Real Estate Transactions Committee Leadership
This committee is involved with all aspects of legal opinions in real estate transactions. The committee provides support and guidance for lawyers who (a) render third party legal opinions in real estate finance transactions and other transactions involving real estate and (b) represent clients that receive such legal opinions. In addition to publishing a semi‐annual newsletter called Opinions Matters, the committee meets at least two times a year, usually by telephone. The committee, on its own and in conjunction with other committees and groups, prepares reports, presents educational programs, and monitors cases and other developments in order to work toward consistent real estate opinion practice throughout the country. The committee's webpage contains copies of the committee newsletter and other information.
