This presentation describes some issues which the author has encountered in representing real estate developers and discusses the manner in which those issues were resolved. It should always be remembered that the relative negotiating leverage of the parties involved in a particular transaction is the most important factor influencing whether such issues can be successfully resolved. Even if that leverage is unfavorable in a given situation, however, legal counsel may want to raise the issues for consideration by their clients in order to assure that professional responsibility has been satisfied.
