"There is a great deal of change that is coming to real estate transactions between now and August 1, 2015," said Tyszka. "It is very important that lawyers continue to be a part of the process and that they have an organization to voice the concerns of not only these practitioners but also their clients."

Founded in 1996, IRELA is comprised of experienced attorneys dedicated to assisting individuals and businesses in connection with real estate transactions of all types. The organization has over 2,000 attorney members throughout Illinois. It is commonly recognized by both attorneys and brokers because of its promulgation of the "multi-board residential real estate contract."
