AIA Contract Documents

Construction clauses that you believe to be benign, may actually jeopardize the financial well-being of your design firm, and the health, safety, and welfare of the public. It is imperative for design firms to have a thorough understanding of these “deadly clauses” and how to identify and correct faulty language in order to mitigate associated risks. Join us for a free webinar as presenters review construction contract clauses regarding instruments of service, right to withhold or offset fees, reliance on owner supplied information, coordination of owner’s consultants, limiting liability, compliance with civil rights legislation, and prevailing party clauses.

Attendees will:

• Know how to establish an effective process for conducting a thorough review, interpretation and negotiation of design contracts for construction projects.
• Review common problematic contractual clauses, often overlooked by the design professional.
• Gain tools and strategies for negotiation in order to remove, amend or diffuse the harmful language.
• Know where to access reliable resources and contacts to help in review of agreements.
