The legal counsel’s major role is to protect the charter school’s interests during the development’s earliest concept stage through the facility’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. He or she negotiates legal issues, drafts legal agreements the charter school enters into (or reviews other legal counsel’s drafts), and advises the charter school at critical points (i.e., negotiating a lease with a prospective landlord, purchasing a building, finalizing a construction contract, reviewing loan documents). It is important that you use a legal counsel with experience in local real estate, because real estate practices often vary significantly by location. Depending on the nature of the project and type of financing, you may need to solicit specialized legal advice.
