Learn key factors and strategies in anticipating and dealing with troublesome contract clauses.
Owners, contractors, design professionals and counsel are often faced with troublesome contract clauses at different stages of a project. Questions before, during, and after a project may arise regarding responsibility, payment, duties, and the scope of work to be done. This topic helps the persons responsible at different stages of their project to better understand contract clauses, anticipate possible problems, and predict viable solutions at all times of the construction process. This content also explains various methods for dealing with problems if and when they arise.
