Seminar Description
Construction contracts are filled with provisions that can dramatically shift risk, increase costs, or create unexpected liabilities. From price escalation clauses to indemnity, flow-down obligations, delays, and termination rights, these terms often favor one party over another—and can leave contractors exposed.
This seminar brings together seasoned construction attorneys to unpack the most dangerous contract provisions and share practical strategies for negotiating them. Whether you’re a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or construction executive, you’ll gain the tools to spot high-risk clauses, understand their impact, and protect your company’s bottom line before signing on the dotted line.

Key Takeaways

- Understand how clauses related to delays, price escalation, indemnity, payment, and termination can affect profitability and project success.
- Evaluate negotiation strategies that balance risk and promote fairer contract terms.
- Apply practical approaches to modifying contract language before it becomes a costly problem.
