Do you use specialized attorneys?Apr 07, 2007


We have an attorney that can handle pretty much anything, but we're doing some construction work and our board wants to engage a different attorney just to review the contracts of the engineer and construction company. Our attorney says reviewing the contracts is not a problem for him. Do we really need someone who specializes in construction just to read these contracts? Or is it better to stick with the attorney with whom we already have a relationship?

Yes, we use several attorneys - TedT-NJ Apr 08, 2007




We have a house attorney who handles closings, letters to shareholders, modest legal research, those in arrears (admittedly this is a partly sum as typically we are but $6,000 in arrears in a 500 unit high rise), ongoing contract renewals.

For some forms of litigation, e.g.: another building, next door, we employ another attorney, the municipality, etc.

For labor issues, e.g.: a new union or new union contract, we employ a labor attorney versed in NLRB activities and laws.

For capital improvement contracts we use an attorney, who himself, is a trained engineer.
