Overview:

The construction industry has been hounded by unprecedented threats and other legal pitfalls. Various claims for damage to property or persons arising from construction projects, often expose companies and individuals to the risk of costly litigation. In order to prevent or limit risks arising from such claims, general contractors, subcontractors, and owners must adopt an insurance program that will effectively mitigate the risks of claims and potentially provide a source for coverage and recovery. In this LIVE webcast, construction litigators John D. North (Greenbaum Rowe Smith & Davis LLP) and Ashley B. Jordan (Reed Smith LLP) will provide an in-depth analysis of the fundamentals as well as recent developments in the fields of construction litigation and insurance. Speakers will also cover the best practices and effective tools in understanding insurance policies and procedures to maximize the potentials of an insurance coverage and provide more control on risk management.

Key issues that will be covered in this course are:

  • Construction Litigation and Insurance Coverage: 2019 Perspective
  • Recent Trends and Developments
  • Common Risks and Pitfalls
  • Identifying Red Flags
  • What You Need to Know in 2020
