Understanding Illinois’ Mandatory Attorney Review Period

Timeline Management: The 5-day clock starts immediately upon signature. Missing this window creates legal complications.

Multiple Attorney Involvement: Both attorneys may request document reviews. Contingency Resolution: Major issues must be resolved before review period expires.
