Much like no two law firms are the same, no two real estate developers are the same. However, in both industries there are certain norms and expectations that have become standard, conventional practices. While accepted norms usually exist for good reason, there is always room for improvement. Especially in the current, ever-changing landscape, the development lawyer who takes a critical look at standard practices and finds new ways to help clients accomplish goals efficiently will play an invaluable role in the development’s success.

2020 has been (and no doubt will continue to be) like riding a roller coaster in a hurricane. Fortunately, for the IndyBar, we have a committed membership that has responded in amazing ways.
