Pass the Buck – When is it Fair to Ask Someone Else to Take Your Risk?

10.26.2017

Construction contracts often become about trying to pass as much liability to the other party as possible, with most risk being passed down to the lowest-tier subcontractors. Join Susan McGreevy on Thursday, October 26 in our office to discuss the most common risk-shifting clauses, how they work and what is fair in negotiations.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify risk-shifting in contract clauses
• Decide which risks are appropriate (and legal) to shift, and to whom
• Negotiate to quantify and limit risks your firm accepts

Susan will present from our Kansas City office and video-conference the session to our Minneapolis, Denver, St. Louis and Washington, DC offices. Attorneys will be in attendance in each office to help answer questions or direct questions to Susan.

Register online by Tuesday, October 24.
