If you’re a practitioner with 10 or more years of experience practicing predominately or exclusively in the area of real estate, LESA’s upcoming Commercial Real Estate seminar has plenty to offer you!
As seminar chair Ron Sorokin explained in a recent interview with LESA, this program will allow attendees to explore “practical issues related to commercial real estate transactions” and gain “insights from very experienced practitioners.”
The experienced panel includes a diverse range of speakers, from a developer to commercial real estate and environmental lawyers:
With their various perspectives and experience, the panel will be addressing a number of commercial real estate topics.
We have one very experienced developer who has been involved in all aspects of the developer world: from a planning, engineering, and business perspective. The rest are lawyers who are going to provide comments and different perspectives on various aspects of the transaction, both on the development and subdivision side of things as well as environmental matters and co-ownership, which will deal with multi-party transactions.”
Although you’re certain to glean some valuable information from these speakers’ presentations, Sorokin also notes that the intention of the seminar is to have the audience involved as active participants, saying, “We would expect and hope and anticipate input from experienced participants as well.” So come prepared to share your own insights and ask the questions that continue to work themselves up into your practice.
After all, this seminar is intended to provide a forum for experienced practitioners to come together and have conversations about the important issues that lie at the heart of your practice.
We asked Sorokin what he was most looking forward to about this seminar:
I think it’s always very helpful to hear from and meet with our peers. The back and forth that you’re going to gain from meeting with your peers, and particularly advanced peers, is important to our practice, to our clients, and to our own offices – because a lot of us will go back and educate our own offices after attending these seminars.”
If you’re interested in joining the conversation with your experienced peers, you can head to our website to register for the seminar in Edmonton (May 12) or Calgary (May 20). We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
