Return of the Contractors: Transforming the Construction Landscape

Whether you represent owners, developers, contractors, or other project participants (or simply want to learn more about construction law), explore the life cycle of a construction project with us from the contractor’s perspective.  Excellent faculty and events will provide meaningful education and networking opportunities for attorneys and other construction professionals.  

  • Learn from construction community leaders. 
  • Explore best practices in pre-construction services and delegated design.
  • Understand claims between the contractors and designers.
  • Hone your understanding of productivity and disruption claims.
  • Identify the right insurance coverage to procure for construction projects.
  • Navigate the subcontractor / contractor relationship. 
  • Flag ethical impacts of conflicts of interest that arise mid-project.

DON’T MISS the 3-hour practicum on Wednesday to learn best practices for engaging experts and skills in conducting expert discovery in construction cases in addition to numerous young lawyer networking events, including a new attendee meeting, young lawyer social event on Wednesday night, fun run on Thursday morning, and other networking opportunities. No flyout Friday for this one . . . be sure to bring family/friends to join our tour of barbeque and vineyards on Saturday in the Hill Country to enjoy everything that Austin and its surroundings have to offer.

In-Person Registration opens Wednesday, April 23, 12-5pm.
