I am a litigation associate, thinking of moving to a small rural community to work for a small (3 atty) real estate firm. What should I watch out for? Is it enjoyable work? Any general advice or knowledge? I’d also be handling their real estate litigation. Thanks!!

Received less salary this month also. (Same amount as last month)
Why is this happening? Too much tax 🥵

I'm looking for advice from those who have freelanced remotely with an international agency.

I'm based in NYC and have had firms in Canada and England reach out about projects. The agencies have offices in the US but I would be working w/ their international teams (servicing US based clients). I've asked for my standard rate in USD converted to their currency.

Any advice on the best way to get paid? Have you asked to get paid by the US office instead? Any watch-outs for tax season?

TIA!

Thoughts on CIP and it’s note taking structure? Have you deviated from it or should one not break what’s not broken?

Top SDRs oftentimes don't sound like traditional salespeople when cold calling. They use a very casual voice tone.

Here are a few tips:

1. Avoid upward inflections at the end of sentences. This makes it sound like everything you ask is a question
2. Slow down and eliminate buzzwords. Speaking fast makes you sound nervous and less confident
3. Avoid reading from a script - internalize your message and put it into your own works so you sound like YOU!

Thoughts? What are your top tips?

Looking for a bit of insight on how commission or bonus is structured on flat rate residential real estate at Canadian law firms.

Any defenses to put in an answer regarding violation of the IL Residential Real Property Disclosure Act.? Buyer is suing client pro se after discovering mold in the property from a tenant after taking possession. Seller didn’t know but there was a leak issue in the past. Other advice is appreciated.

How long is the recording delay in your jurisdiction?

Pro se plaintiff, an attorney, filed a complaint alleging mold defects after closing on a property. Client, layperson, may have agreed orally to a settlement amount without proof of damages prior to filing appearance and obtaining an attorney. Client filed appearance pro se, then plaintiff sent over a draft settlement agreement few weeks later which client didn’t sign. Client then got an attorney, filed answer, etc. Can this oral agreement be voided for coercion, indefinite mat’l term, etc?

When will real estate law move past the need for original signature pages? They are the bane of my existence.

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

-Ability for the Sponsor/Fund to invest directly, indirectly and in equity, debt, Pref, etc.
To me this seems extremely cumbersome and would require multiple classes of (cont’d)
