The following are observations about some of the differences between new construction, and remedial construction contracting.

Attend this session to learn about the risks in acquiring international real estate and managing a foreign acquisition or disposition; compare and contrast US practices with those presented in foreign jurisdictions.

Coverage of the important items to address when handling a special real estate sale, focusing primarily on a Sale/Leaseback transaction (in which your company sells real estate it owns to another party and then leases the same property back from that party to free up the capital invested in the property for other uses) and a sale of real estate under Section 1031 of the US Tax Code in which you defer taxes on the dollar gain from the real estate sale by using those proceeds to buy other “like kind” real estate (either before or after the sale) pursuant to the specific conditions of Section

This program will provide a basic level survey of some different types of real estate leases, featuring ground leases (including both outparcel and "pad-only" deals), building leases, space leases, and air rights leases, a discussion of the differences between each type of lease, and some guidance regarding when you might prefer to use one lease type versus another. The discussion will also include other real estate agreements used to convey a real estate interest, such as condominiums, easements, usufructs and licenses.

Presented at ACCA’s Annual Meeting 2000; Program - Construction Law

This presentation discusses the environmental justice movement, the work of the NEPC (National Environmental Policy Commission) and several statutes, including the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Marine Protection, Research & Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA) & the Clean Air Act (CAA).

Real estate is a basic part of doing business, whether your employer owns, leases or subleases facilities. Learn the law from your in-house peers who have of necessity become real estate law experts, and discover the key considerations and potential traps that every in-house attorney must know for basic real estate transactions and managing your companies' real property assets.

Developed with the transactional attorney or corporate generalist in mind, this session will provide you with the fundamentals to draft and negotiate legally enforceable environmental terms and conditions for the purchase of real property and the sale of an on-going concern with environmental liabilities. Our panel will focus, in particular, on environmental law including indemnification provisions, baselines, and related insurance. From this program, you will be able to draft and negotiate environmental terms in a contract without being forced to go to outside counsel for assistance.

We may not all have to address complex environmental permitting issues, but we likely all have to deal with real estate issues. Imagine your company just bought 20 acres for a strip mall or moved into vacant commercial space. Suddenly, buried drums are discovered on the neighboring property and it is now being called a Superfund site. This session will cover issues on how to identify and avoid costly environmental liabilities. The panelists will offer practical insights into environmental terminology, due diligence and negotiating strategies that will help avoid costly expenditures.

Many companies acquire real estate from time to time. This can range from acquisitions to meet the needs of a company's operational growth to acquisition of real estate in connection with mergers and acquisitions of other companies or business units. The real estate due diligence process can be time-consuming and costly. To a non-real estate lawyer, it can also involve arcane issues of real estate law (such as easements, rights of first refusal, liens and encroachments).
