Program Materials

This CLE webinar will provide guidance to real estate counsel—for a buyer or seller—in negotiating representations, warranties and remedies in commercial real estate purchase agreements.

Description

When negotiating and drafting commercial real estate sales contracts, the purchaser and seller must anticipate and mitigate potential risks associated with the deal.

Risks may include environmental conditions affecting the property, title and survey issues, zoning concerns, building code violations, tenant issues, or pending condemnation proceedings.

Skillfully negotiated representations, warranties and remedies for breaches can provide some protection for the buyer, while the seller’s objective is to limit the scope and survival of reps and warranties.

Listen as our authoritative panel of real estate practitioners provides strategies for buyers’ and sellers’ counsel negotiating representations and warranties and other key provisions in commercial real estate purchase agreements. The panel will discuss best practices for buyers and sellers to identify and allocate risks when closing a real estate deal.
