A partnership (whether general or limited) presents unique challenges to real property and business lawyers, being a commonly used  entity that lacks legal personality. As such, the ownership of the real estate is a thorny issue. As a party to a commercial or real estate transaction (whether it’s a purchase, sale or financing), a partnership requires special attention with respect to ensuring enforceability of partnership obligations, giving binding legal effect to the  partnership’s acts and the nature of opinions that lawyers should or shouldn’t get.  View this program to ensure you are up-to-date on the essential case law and potential pitfalls relating to partnership deals, and ensure that your drafting, due diligence and opinions accord with best practices.
