If your board has an attorney serving as a director — or if you're that attorney — this episode is essential. Stewart Wurtzel, member at Tane, Waterman & Wurtzel, walks through the real conflicts that arise when legal expertise meets board duty. He explains why letting your board's attorney review contracts instead of hiring outside counsel can leave everyone dangerously uninsured, how to voice a legal opinion without it becoming legal advice, and why diplomacy is everything. His practical framework for drawing boundaries without drawing battle lines is something every board member needs to hear. Habitat's Carol Ott conducts the interview.
The business of running a building is demanding work that requires making endless decisions — some that can quickly lead your board into a quagmire of legal difficulties. Legal Talk interviews New York's leading co-op/condo attorneys to find solutions, and get some guidance, on these challenges.
