Mission Statement

The Working Group on Lawyers and Real Estate has prepared a Real Estate Lawyer's Mission Statement. It captures the essence of the lawyer-client relationship and constitutes a statement to the public of a real estate lawyer's commitment to professionalism.

Real estate lawyers who abide by the Mission Statement should feel free to use it in whatever fashion will assist them in their professional lives.* For example, it could be hung in your waiting room, included in your firm brochure or reproduced on your Web site.

There is both a PDF and screen saver version posted below. For example, the PDF version is suitable for framing or mounting on a plaque. (This latter service is available at most photofinishing retailers.) You could even print it on coffee mugs!

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to download the pdf version of the Mission Statement. If you do not have it on your computer, click here.
