Financing real estate transactions is complex. And for organizations involved in them – and the lawyers advising them – being able to negotiate arrangements effectively and efficiently, adjust terms and close deals quickly is paramount.
For lawyers it is a highly competitive space. And managing the complexity, uniqueness and velocity of financing real estate deals places a premium on having efficient and effective underlying processes in place. Against this backdrop, both challenges and opportunities exist for law firms to gain competitive advantage by leveraging people, process and technology.
