Program Description:
The process of putting together a commercial real estate buy/sell agreement continues to become more difficult. Reps and warranties have become more extensive, laborious in detail, and difficult to negotiate. Financing contingencies have become lengthy and surpassingly complex in reflection of tight commercial credit. Due diligence has become lengthier, more invasive and costlier. At every stage of the process, buyers want additional information, protection and concessions, and sellers want closing certainty. This program, led by attorneys with several decades experience in commercial real estate, will discuss the major components of commercial real estate buy/sell agreements, negotiating the operative documents and ensuring a successful closing in a difficult market.
