South Carolina Corporate Real Estate Law
Real estate is a fundamental concern for all businesses. Businesses must consider whether to lease or buy and then, as sub-issues, must consider lease or mortgage provisions. Foreclosure can become an issue when business does not go as planned. Similarly, businesses often face landlord-tenant problems or construction disputes. Finally, title and boundary disputes and zoning issues are often concerns that businesses must consider when contemplating their real estate choices.
Why Use Legal River
As a business owner, you may be unfamiliar with the specific legal issues that underlie many real estate related decisions. Having counsel may ensure familiarity with the relevant issues and familiarity can help you to have peace of mind that you are addressing the issues that matter, thereby preventing unpleasant future surprises. For example, a lawyer can help you to understand the zoning statutes in a given area, helping to prevent you from violating relevant laws and regulations or getting into disputes with others. In essence, working with a lawyer not only can save you time and money, it also can help ensure that you are not at a disadvantage when dealing with other parties, such as neighbors complaining of zoning violations or counterparties to a lease or sales transaction.

Yes. With Legal River your contact information is redacted so no attorneys are going to be able to see your information. Lawyers will see characteristics of your business, in order to know if they are right or not, but they will never see your contact information.
Legal River’s signup process takes about 5 minutes to complete. We have worked with many attorneys and know the questions they need to have answered to better understand if they are the right attorney for your issue. So simply answer a few of our targeted questions and then describe your legal issue in your own words and you are on your way to posting an issue.
Legal River allows businesses to use their Request for Proposal (RFP) system for free by charging the lawyers a small advertising fee to respond to your issue. While any lawyer who is in good standing with their bar association can join Legal River, the lawyer has to pay a small advertising fee to respond to your issue. This is important for two reasons. First, because we operate under a pay per contact system and don’t require any membership or subscription fees, Legal River is able to attract a wide variety of lawyers and thus we will have the right lawyer for you. Second, because there is a fee involved, you will not be spammed by lawyers who are not right for you. Attorneys will self-select and only those who think they can add value will respond to your issue.
While some may have a network vast enough to find a lawyer to handle every specialized legal issue, most of us just do not have that network. Most legal issues are time sensitive and cannot be put off for weeks while we ask around for recommendations. With Legal River there is a controlled feedback loop so that previous businesses who have interacted with an attorney can leave qualitative feedback. With Legal River you can have the comfort of a personal referral without the hassle of waiting.
The internet is crowded with legal sites, most of which do not provide any value. Many of them are glorified yellow pages, in which it is up to the business to look through attorney listings. Those listing do not tell you how much that lawyer charges or even if that lawyer is currently available to work with your business. Even after you spend hours of your valuable time going through the listings you still need to call or email each lawyer to see if they meet your needs, are within your price range and currently available, repeating your needs with each interview. With Legal River’s Request for Proposal (RFP) system, you can do this just once and let the lawyers compete over you.
