PDH Luncheon: Construction Law

Presented by Mark Young, Esq., JD, MBA, BS Civ. Eng., Attorney at As-Built Law, PLLC.

Despite the engineering profession being a very risky profession, engineers are taught very little about the laws and minimizing legal risks in the engineering profession. Engineers at all levels can benefit from a basic understanding of the legal requirements and available protections in any contractual and non-contractual relationship with clients, owners, contractors and other consultants.
This presentation is meant to give a general overview of the most important topics, articles, language and legal knowledge that engineers should possess to protect themselves.
