In Episode 57 of Success Behind The Numbers, we sit down with Stu Adler, Partner at The ASB Law Group, whose career has been shaped by deep involvement in complex transactions and a front-row view of where deals can break down.
Stu began his legal career representing a gasoline company, gaining early experience navigating high-stakes contracts, risk, and liability. He later transitioned into real estate law, where he found his niche working directly in transactions and guiding deals to the finish line. Closings are his favorite part of the role, where preparation, strategy, and problem-solving all come together.
In this conversation, we unpack what many agents misunderstand about legal protection, why proactive counsel matters long before issues arise, and how strong attorney relationships can elevate professionalism, credibility, and long-term success. From contracts to conflict resolution, this episode reinforces why legal strategy isn’t about fear, it’s about foresight.
If you’ve ever wondered where deals really break down or how to protect your business before problems arise, this episode offers clarity every serious agent should hear.
