Can I Hire the Same Attorney for Both Buyer and Seller Representation?
05.14.2026
In some situations, one attorney may facilitate a transaction involving both parties. However, conflicts of interest must always be carefully considered.
An attorney’s ability to represent both parties depends on the circumstances, informed consent, and ethical obligations.
Buyers and sellers should fully understand whether the attorney can remain neutral or whether separate representation would be more appropriate.
In high conflict or heavily negotiated transactions, separate legal representation is often advisable.
The most expensive closing is the one without a lawyer. NEVER CLOSE ALONE®
