Preparing to buy or sell property this summer? A real estate attorney might be the smartest investment you make before closing.

Not every transaction requires legal counsel, but when contracts get complicated, title issues arise, disclosures don’t add up, or disputes surface, having an experienced real estate lawyer can help prevent costly mistakes before they happen.

From FSBO deals and inspection disputes to zoning concerns and complex transactions like foreclosures or estate sales, understanding when to hire an attorney can make all the difference.

The key question isn’t just “Can I afford an attorney?” — it’s “What’s the risk if I don’t have one?”

Last month, Elon Musk lost his case against OpenAI revolving around the non-profit status of OpenAI and the implications of its shift to a for-profit model.

So, what does it actually take to start a nonprofit? Best Lawyers put together a step-by-step guide breaking down everything from forming a board to securing 501(c)(3) status, plus why working with an experienced nonprofit attorney can make all the difference.

Women in the Law 2026 highlight: Chang | Klein LLP

Deborah Chang and Candice Klein are proving that high-impact litigation can drive real change. From an $8.5M verdict against Uber in a landmark sexual assault case to holding public institutions accountable for failing vulnerable students, Chang | Klein LLP continues to turn cases into causes.

“Many of us had been practicing so long with men leading the way and with women on the sidelines.” Chang said of the Uber case. “In this trial, women led inside and outside the courtroom. It was pretty amazing.”

Chang spoke to Best Lawyers about how storytelling, fearless advocacy and women-led trial teams are shaping the future of the courtroom and advancing justice nationwide.

If a defective product, wage issue or data breach affected many people, a class action lawsuit may be an option. Courts must certify that the group shares similar harm and that the lead plaintiff can represent the class fairly. The process includes documentation, filing a complaint and class certification before settlement or trial.

Most cases require experienced legal counsel due to strict procedural rules.

Why exactly is Best Lawyers exclusively founded on peer review?

"Clients themselves don't typically know how good their lawyer is at actually practicing law. So, it has been our founding principle for over 40 years that it is the lawyers who know how good other lawyers are," Senior Vice President of Research & Product Strategy Elizabeth Petit explains.
