About This Course
Successful construction projects begin with well-structured contracts. This CLE course offers a practical look at negotiating agreements between owners and architects or engineers, focusing on the legal and commercial impact of key contract provisions. Participants will explore common risk areas and how to address them effectively during negotiation.
Through a detailed review of core clauses—such as standard of care, indemnity, payment terms, document ownership, scope, and schedule—attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how to craft balanced contracts that align with project goals while managing exposure. Ideal for attorneys representing owners, design professionals, or involved in construction-related work, this course provides valuable tools to strengthen contract outcomes and reduce the potential for disputes.
