People often think of construction law as the law governing multi-million dollar commercial developments. However, many construction law claims in New Jersey arise out of problems that occur with smaller projects such as home remodeling or office renovations. The potential for liability is wide-ranging and can arise from the conduct of the contractor, the design professional or even the owner and can be in either the public or private sector.
This course has been developed by some of New Jersey’s most respected construction law attorneys and other thought leaders to provide New Jersey lawyers with a functional, working knowledge of New Jersey construction law - from the initial contract drafting to the filing and advancement of a construction claim. As an attendee, you will learn everything you need to know about standard clauses that will help your client avoid trouble, how to advise your clients re: change orders and extras, and how to guard against unforeseen changes such as differing site conditions and pre and post contract and work delays. You’ll also pick up highly effective strategies to handle construction situations when a dispute arises, dispute resolution proceedings, proving or defending damage claims and more.
