Are you unknowingly assuming more liability than you could be? Register now for this 60-minute audio session in which our expert speaker, Scott P. Pence, will explorethe mechanisms by which parties allocate the risk associated with a construction project.
Potential risk and liability lies around every corner of a construction project, and unknowingly assuming that risk or failing to adequately address it in your contracts can put you in harm's way. Failure to properly recognize, assess, and/or allocate risks can lead to time-consuming and expensive disputes and ultimately saddle you with liability that could put you out of business. But you can mitigate your exposure and better protect yourself by employing common contract mechanisms for allocating risk.
In this program, you will learn how to:
Identify the key construction provisions that appear (or should appear) in almost every construction contract
Understand the allocation of risk and liability within those key contract provisions
Apply common negotiating tactics to suggest an equitable allocation of risks and liabilities
Understand the link between indemnification provisions and being named as an additional insured
Recognize the approach taken with respect to these risk issues in some of the more common industry standard construction contract forms
