Real Estate Practice
As a real estate lawyer, you might represent major developers of housing, office and retail space as well as lenders, which is a very specialized practice. On the other hand, you might represent buyers of homes, small builders or contractors and businesses that buy or rent office or commercial space. To be a real estate lawyer you certainly need to know basic real property law, but you also need solid grounding in other subject areas, including mortgages, federal taxation, estate planning, business organizations and partnership law, environmental law, and bankruptcy.
