Our partner Christine Li will serve as moderator at the seminar “Community Associations: From Development to Transition and Beyond,” to be presented by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education (NJICLE) in cooperation with the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) Real Property, Trust & Estate Law Section and the Community Associations Institute, New Jersey Chapter (CAI-NJ). The program is scheduled for Tuesday, June 25, 2013 from 9:00 am - 12:30 pm at the NJ Law Center in New Brunswick, NJ.

The seminar will explore the relationship between the developer and association - from the proposed development of a community, to the transition of control from governing board to homeowner, to the sell-out of the community. Attendees will learn about the structuring of communities, the significance and drafting of documents, financial accounting and management concerns in the development and transition process, requirements of governmental agencies regulating the communities, the rights and obligations of the developer and the association, and the remedies available to the developer and the association.

Ms. Li is a member of the firm’s Real Estate Department, and serves as chair of our Planned Real Estate Practice Group. Her practice focuses in condominium and planned real estate development law, including the conversion of rental properties to the condominium form of ownership, mixed-use developments, commercial and business condominiums, workouts of distressed communities, community association law, and the registration of planned real estate developments with the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. She represents developers, sponsors of the conversion of rental properties, community associations, and lending institutions.
