Learn basic contract principles, key concepts, and how these agreements best serve the project participants' needs.
Owners and contractors often execute professional service agreements with design professionals that are either standard form agreements or agreements prepared by the owner, general contractor, or their counsel. These agreements may run the gamut from overly-complex to simplistic or contain a mixture of conflicting business and legal terms. Project participants executing professional services agreements may lack a basic understanding of basic contract principles, key concepts, and/or how these agreements best serve the project participants' needs. This presentation will help you better understand the importance of these legal documents, how the obligations in a contract are made binding, critical professional service contract provisions (including the context and interplay between key terms like indemnity, insurance, and limitation of liability), how a project participant's role in the project may impact contract negotiations, as well as consideration of mitigation strategies to minimize a project participant's risks.
