Through the use of case studies, real-world examples, and panel discussions, this program comprised of a panel of experienced construction and development attorneys will revisit the successful Construction Contract 101 series and walk participants through an in-depth analysis of the major contracting documents that compromise every construction project, including Owner/Architect agreements, Owner/Contractor agreements and Contractor/Subcontractor agreements. Presented from the specialized perspective of owners, developers, design professionals, primes, construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, legal advisors and others, the panelists will demystify how to quickly identify and understand project risks, highlight the preferred position of each project stakeholder, the best practices for negotiating key provisions favorable to a client’s position, and a proposed real-world resolution.
Who should attend? This seminar would be practical and useful for anyone who prepares construction contracts or who litigates construction claims.
