Legal retainersMar 24, 2009


I actually posted something on Habitat's Blog about this subject the other day. We are paying a retainer (about $18K annually) and we get our money's worth; however we are a much larger building than yours (400+ units) and probably encounter more legal questions than a smaller building. Keep in mind that the retainer generally covers only routine legal questions and advice - if you initiate or are defending an actual case, the meter starts running.
