Professional Liability Webinar for Design and Contractor Professionals

Architects, engineers, and design and construction firms face a wide range of liability issues that can vary dramatically from project to project. Complicating matters, owners often draft contract provisions that are unfavorable to contractors, who are sometimes too willing to accept these unfavorable terms in order to get work. When this happens, it can leave contractors vulnerable, since elements of the project may not be covered by their insurance, or may not even be insurable.

In this webinar, we cover 7 key design and construction contract provisions, with examples of problematic owner-drafted language that we have come across, and suggestions for alternative language that helps ensure the work is covered by a firm’s professional liability coverage. These provisions include:

• Standard of care
• Indemnity
• Dispute resolutions
• Limitations of liability
• Consequential damages
• Instruments
• Service, warranties, and guarantees
