Hopkins, Esq., three of the state's most respected commercial real estate attorneys, have joined together for another year and designed a brand-new full day program to provide you with knowledge of topics that are so critical to the commercial real estate lawyer.

Whether you have several years of commercial real estate experience or are just breaking into the field, and whether real estate is your specialty or just an integral part of your transactional business practice, now is the time to invest in your career. Hear panelists with years of experience discuss the issues that they deal with.
