Corporate Transactions & Real Estate - What Property Lawyers Need to Know

Introduction

Corporate colleagues often approach transactions in a way that feels very unfamiliar to property practitioners. Reliance on warranties, using certificates of title and allocating risk instead of resolving issues up front together make their style seem rather alien. What should be agreed and what exactly is expected?

The aim of this webinar is to provide a deeper understanding of what needs to be done in practice when asked to act on a share sale or purchase. How do corporate transactions work and what is the property lawyer’s role?
