Our mini-theme: Dirt law
Digging into dirt law': Focusing the business lawyer's eye
on real-property law
|
|
It is essential for business lawyers to keep an eye on the
current, practical "dirt law" topics that may
affect their clients.
That is true whether the clients are owners, lessors or
lessees, sellers, buyers or brokers, financiers, investors
or lenders, designers, engineers, builders or
appraisers.
In this mini-theme, we don't survey the landscape of dirt
law. Instead, we present articles that dig into timely and
diverse dirt-law topics. We hope that they will assist
business lawyers in looking out for real property-related
concerns facing their clients today.
