Attorney necessary for Commercial Contracts?

[Kristina Anderson]

Hi Everyone,

I know any attorney reading this will say "absolutely yes!" We are wondering whether it's worthwhile to engage an attorney to review a commercial contract on a smaller-sized residential building (but large enough it qualifies as commercial)? We're New York City-based, where you can't purchase any piece of real estate without an attorney. We learned that in Columbus, residential (up to 4 units) is pretty straightforward, and we haven't engaged attorneys for the contract phase until now. The commercial contract also seems pretty standard. Thoughts?
