DESCRIPTION:

When rendering a third-party opinion, practitioners must ensure the accuracy and completeness of their opinion. Counsel preparing opinion letters face potential liabilities if the opinion is defective and negligence can be shown.
 
Certain assumptions and qualifications and client certificates regarding factual matters can be employed to limit counsel’s exposure. The ABA Real Estate Finance Opinion Report provides a format that reflects customary practices generally accepted nationwide.
 
Listen as our authoritative panel explains best practices when drafting third-party opinion letters for commercial real estate finance transactions. The panel will discuss potential liabilities involved in rendering opinions and strategies for counsel to reduce risk in providing opinion letters.
