*Beginning on July 1, 2023, experienced attorneys are now required to take at least 1 CLE credit in the category of Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Protection in each compliance period. This new requirement applies to all attorneys due to re-register on or after July 1, 2023 (birthday is on or after July 1st). Please note that this does not change the total amount of credits required in your CLE period, the total requirement remains at 24 credits.
Experienced NY attorneys are required to complete their requirement every 2 years by their birthday with a 30 day automatic grace period. Attorneys admitted to practice in even years are due on even years and attorneys admitted in odd years are due in odd years.
New York attorneys must report that they are CLE compliant on their biennial registration form and must retain proof of compliance for a minimum of four years. National Academy of CLE issues a NY CLE Certificate of Attendance for all CLE activities as proof of compliance and we store the certificate in your CLE Account indefinitely.
Newly admitted attorneys are required to take "transitional” courses (designed to help them develop a foundation in the essential skills to practice law) 16 credits each year for the first two years following their admission to the Bar. The 16 credits must consist of 3 Ethics credits, 6 Skills credits, and 7 Law Practice Management (LPM) or Professional Practice (PP) credits. Additionally, 1 credit of Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Protection must be taken in either of the first two years. Newly admitted attorneys must complete their CLE requirement in a format permissible for the category of credit. For more information please click here.
Newly admitted attorneys must complete each of their two 16 credit requirements by the first and second anniversaries of admission respectively.
*Effective January 1, 2026, newly admitted attorneys need to complete their skills credit via traditional live classroom setting or a fully interactive videoconference attended in a group setting.
Newly admitted attorneys can complete all 16 required credit hours with us through a combination of our on-demand Professional Practice (PP), Law Practice Management (LPM), and Cybersecurity courses, along with our live Skills and Ethics programs.

About This Course
Successful residential real estate transactions require more than a well-drafted contract—they require practical judgment, effective communication, and proactive problem-solving. This CLE program offers real-world guidance for attorneys representing buyers, sellers, and lenders on navigating the transaction from contract to closing while minimizing unnecessary delays, disputes, and failed deals.
Participants will explore common issues that can derail a transaction, including contract drafting pitfalls, inspection and financing contingencies, title concerns, closing preparation, and communication breakdowns among parties, agents, and lenders. The program will also highlight best practices for identifying potential problems early, managing client expectations, negotiating practical solutions, and keeping transactions on track while fulfilling ethical and professional responsibilities.
Attendees will leave with practical strategies and tips they can immediately implement to facilitate smoother residential real estate transactions, reduce risk, and help clients reach a successful closing.
*This course qualifies as a Transitional course and can be taken by both Experienced and Newly Admitted attorneys in NY.
