Seminar Overview:
Contractors, subcontractors, and owners live and die by their contracts. Not knowing what constitutes your contract; not knowing
whether it is legal or unenforceable; not knowing that you can be liable for damages, even without a contract; are all paths to ruination.
This program will be a practical, plain language presentation on how to protect yourself; how to minimize the risk of litigation; how
to properly use your attorney and insurance agent; and how to properly preserve and resolve your claims. All entities involved in the
construction process should attend to learn about a number of topics, including:
Formation of a contract: Clauses to consider: Documentation of potential claims
• Offer, Acceptance, and Consideration • Changed Conditions
• Promissory Estoppel • Changes, Extras, and Additional Work Hold harmless agreements and
• Contract Documents: Plans v. Specifications indemnification clauses
• Liquidated Damages
• Termination for Convenience
• Prompt Payment Act

There will be Q & A and open debate during and after the program.
