From leasing missteps to federal reporting obligations, today’s real estate practice demands more than just familiarity with forms and filings. Whether you’re resolving survey issues, advising landlords on tenant rights, or reporting financial information on a real estate transaction, a solid command of current case law and compliance trends is essential.

The Annual Real Estate Update 2025 is your opportunity to get up to speed on the year’s most important legal developments. Unpack the implications of Koble Investments v. Marquardt, learn about the different types of property surveys and their uses, and gain clarity on FinCEN’s (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) beneficial ownership rules and how they’re reshaping reporting obligations for real estate transactions.
