Webinar-At-A-Glance

Certain contract terms can significantly impact contract risks. Using sample contract provisions and case examples, this webinar will review risks that can arise from:

  • Condition precedent payment clauses
  • Site inspection
  • Differing site conditions
  • Delay and default provisions such as no damages for delay, liquidated damages, and force majeure

Who Should Consider Purchasing

This webinar is designed for surety agents and brokers, surety underwriters, and P&C agents and brokers, as well as those charged with managing construction risks, purchasing insurance for construction projects (e.g., risk managers and financial managers), or negotiating construction contract provisions. It will also be informative for consultants, P&C underwriters, and attorneys who are relatively new to construction law.

Benefits to Your Participation

Attendees will gain a better understanding of how to:

  • Identify business risks being created or allocated by these provisions
  • Draft compromise clauses that may mitigate some of your risk
  • Negotiate improvements in these clauses
