ILA and ILR sound similar, but failing to understand the differences in their principles could land you in serious trouble with your clients, the courts, or the regulator. Independent Legal Advice (ILA) and Independent Legal Representation (ILR) are both critical components to properly managing a file, and you need to understand which one to recommend to your clients, and when. Host Doug Bourassa (Chaitons LLP) uses the scenario of a real estate transaction to help explain when it would be prudent to send a client for ILA and ILR, and he points out permitted exceptions and hazards to watch out for when dealing with less sophisticated clients. Examples, quizzes, and practical tips reinforce what you learn and help you apply it to your everyday real estate practice. This e-Course is especially valuable for junior lawyers as well as a worthwhile refresher course for more senior real estate practitioners.
