Levenfeld Pearlstein partner Michael Tuchman will be speaking on Section 1031 Exchanges and other income tax issues.

Who Should Attend

Attorneys, real estate developers, owners, managers, brokers, and appraisers, as well as lenders, escrow officers, and other decision-makers in the purchase and sale of real property.

Why Attend

Commercial purchase and sale agreements are unique machines - machines that can, unfortunately, blow up in the face of the unwary or uninformed. A friend once said that lawyers hate closings because that's when they stop getting paid and take on liability. This seminar will explore, in a real world context, the structuring, negotiation and documentation of major commercial property sales, as well as the pleasures and pain of enforcing sale agreements. The key words here are "real world context" - the knowledge you gain here can be used tomorrow . . . or even this afternoon if you are pressed. This conference is a must for anyone who needs to make important decisions in commercial property purchases and sales. ~ Program Co-Chairs: Walter D. Cupkovic, Esq. and Robert F. Messerly, Esq.
