Considering a Law Career; Real Estate Law?
I'm graduating high school in a couple months and am considering going into Pre-Law in the fall. I would like to be an attorney for Real Estate Developers and handle things like Land Acquisition, Zoning, Tenants, Leasing, etc. Pretty much all that has to do with the process of developing a project, like shopping centers, residential developments, and the like.
My question is; Which type of lawyer handles things like that? Would they be called a Real Estate lawyer? From what I have read a Real Estate lawyer handles residential real estate transactions, which is not really what I was going for, so I want to know what it is that I'm looking for.
Thank you.

Get your law degree then look into the different possibilities.

Why don't you become a developer? Law is gay. To practice the type of law you want to do, you will have to go to a great law school and graduate in the top 10% of your class, and maybe you will have a shot. The odds are stacked against you. As an example, one time there was a real estate law job advertised I really wanted. I had the right everything, which is rare because unlike being a dentist or a doctor most law ads don't say looking for a lawyer, they are pretty specialized because no one wants to invest in training you. I was called into interview twice. The hiring manager and I clicked. He told me that for this one position that 100 attorneys applied. Out of the 100, 10 were called in for a second interview, then it was down to me and another attorney. This was a 2-3 month process. This was around late 07' and the real estate market had begun to tank. To make a long story short the position was eliminated due to a poor real estate market. This is the typical crap you will deal with as an attorney. So to summarize, I had a 1% chance at the beginning. If you like 1% chances try to become a commercial real estate attorney. If you want good pay, health benefits, and do not want to move back in with your parents go into medicine. Harvard law grads had trouble in 09' and 10' getting placed in jobs. If the #1 school in your profession cannot place its grads what does it mean for all the other school's graduates? Avoid law.

regulation is this type of provider which you will might desire to continuously proceed examining, updating, studying the recent rules, etc. There are an insane quantity of legal professionals obtainable and the older we are the toughest that's to prevail in this container. to no longer point out that such as you suggested you would be in debt for something you're unsure you will get you funds lower back for those loans + stay to tell the story. i might decide for the authentic sources or loan Officer license simply by fact your investment is quite little if any, maximum every person obtainable can do it, the marketplace is going to stabilize in some year, and is quite worthwhile. (you will no longer might desire to take care of a criminal understanding he/she is responsible) yet fairly help somebody else fulfill a dream. sturdy success!
