The Strategic Defense Program was created in 2005. This program provides
REALTORS® with a team of litigation defense specialists who deliver top
quality legal services in a cost-efficient manner.
REALTORS® will benefit from risk management seminars
covering risk avoidance and defense. The overriding goal of the
program is to improve REALTORS® knowledge of potential claims and how to
effectively defend against those claims. This program, through
the Defense Panel
attorneys, also provides early warning and defense strategies for new
types of claims. For additional information about the Strategic
Defense Program, please contact our Strategic Defense Counsel at (213)
739-8379 or send an e-mail to Monique McCord, Administrative
Assistant, at
