FAQ: Why would I need a real estate or land use lawyer when I’ve already hired a real estate broker in my transaction?
Real estate brokers and real estate lawyers perform very different roles throughout the transaction. Brokers are not usually lawyers, so cannot provide any legal advice with respect to issues that may arise throughout the process. Our residential and commercial real estate and land use lawyers are here to represent your interests in every aspect of the transaction, including in situations where disputes arise and legal action may become necessary. We will also review your contract and explain any legal issues that you may need to be aware of, and we can draft riders to address any necessary issues.
