The termination of contracts is problematic for all the parties involved on a construction project - the owners, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, architects or sureties. Project delays, cost-overruns, defective work and other issues may only get worse unless clients obtain seasoned advice from counsel knowledgeable in the legal and contractual considerations. This course is designed to identify the risks and hazards involved when clients contemplate such actions, and to equip attorneys to provide strategic advice to guide their clients’ decisions. For counsel advising contractors and subcontractors whose contracts may be terminated, this program also explores strategic steps to be taken when facing threats of contract termination. The course will give you insight in helping your clients find ways to protect their interests, mitigate losses and avoid a “lose-lose” situation.

This is the best Commercial Construction Contract course I have taken.
The reason for a less than highest rating on the educational objectives is the content was very basic and a lot of common sense. I still appreciated the information as reminders of what to look for, along with new information.
Presenter was knowlegable and course was good.
VERY smart recommendations on what is your best alternative if there are issues.
Construction contract disputes can be a real quagmire and cost more than the contract. Good presentation.
