Real estate is not only the global economy’s largest asset class, but also one of the most heavily regulated industries. The Real Estate Law course reviews the varied roles that lawyers play in commercial real estate—negotiating and structuring transactions; navigating regulations in the real-estate lifecycle; and resolving real-estate-related disputes. The course, in turn, considers the legal and practical dimensions of the development, acquisition, and operation of commercial real estate projects, through background readings and transactional documents. And throughout, the course examines the regulatory and policy ecosystem surrounding real estate and the real estate industry.

Note: This course is cross-listed with GSD as 5252. It will meet at GSD and scheduling will adhere to the GSD Academic Calendar.
