Why ligris? We take it personally. Our attorneys and staff treat your closing, financing, contract or other legal matter with the intense attention you expect. We have an instinctive concierge mentality – not just knowing what to do, but also closely monitoring all the details that make up your big picture. We’ve seen that before. By working with and for buyers, sellers, brokers, lenders, developers and title companies, we know not only what’s important to you, but also what the other involved parties are thinking, doing and expecting. It’s unlikely you will bring an issue to us that we’ve not encountered – and solved – previously. We simplify. Real estate transactions can be a chaotic mess of paperwork, voicemails and sticky notes. We clear the clutter. Our office is open, collaborative and as paperless as possible. We enthusiastically employ new technologies to keep deals moving forward without miscommunications, loose ends and other distractions from the goal at hand. We’re people people. We know the law and how it applies to your situation, but we also know how to connect with you and the other professionals involved. We strive to develop productive working relationships that lead to faster answers and easier resolution of problems. We’re local, and everywhere else. With offices in Newton, Boston, and Wellesley, we're clearly focused on the dynamic real estate markets of this area, both residential and commercial. However we frequently assist local clients in projects that reach beyond the greater Boston area. Wherever your interests are, we’re ready. We comply. Although we take pride in delivering a client experience that’s uniquely our own, we take compliance to industry rules and standards very seriously. In particular, we have adopted all the measures necessary to meet CFPB and ALTA best practices – both critical benchmarks in the mortgage lending industry.
