October 22, 2024 American Bar Association Forum on Construction Law
2024 Regional Meeting
On December 5, 2024, in four convenient locations across the country, the ABA Forum on Construction Law will present “Infrastructure from the Ground Up: Civil Works Projects for Lawyers.”
When the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021 was enacted, the federal government opened a pipeline of federal dollars to rebuild and revitalize our aging infrastructure. Only half of the money has been disbursed so far; therefore, future design and construction opportunities abound. Make sure that your construction law practice remains competent and informed about the infrastructure required for commerce, community, and quality of life.
Taught by leading industry professionals in each location, this one-of-a-kind program provides a unique opportunity for both new and seasoned construction lawyers, as well as other construction industry participants, to gain a fundamental understanding of the key engineering and construction issues that govern major civil works projects, or “horizontal” construction. The range of projects covered includes transportation (highways, bridges, rail, ports, and airports), water and wastewater (treatment, drainage, and runoff), environmental and solid waste (hazardous waste investigation, remediation, and landfills), power (generation, storage and transportation) and geotechnical (site investigation and testing.)
Those new to infrastructure and horizontal construction will acquire the knowledge necessary to comprehend complex technical concepts, identify and anticipate legal risks, counsel their clients more competently, and deliver great value when engaged on civil projects.
Tuition includes a copy of the Forum book, Infrastructure from the Ground Up: Civil Works for Lawyers, as well as lunch provided by our city sponsor and a full day of CLE instruction by industry professionals and lawyers alike.
Onsite registration is available 8am-9am at all locations
