About the Webinar

To be successful, lawyers in the building and construction industry require not only an in-depth understanding of the pressures, challenges and risk that developers, contractors and builders face but also be skilled at negotiating and drafting contracts reflecting the commercial realities of the parties.

  • Practical tips for drafting construction contracts and studies of example clauses
  • what to do when faced with contractor non-performance, problems with termination and alternatives to termination
