Course Description:
In this 60 minute session on "Managing Construction Contracts under COVID-19: A Force Majeure Event" Mr. Brian Perlberg will speak about how - Your legal responsibility will likely depend on your contract and actions you take now. Beyond reviewing your contracts for force majeure clauses and giving prompt notice, you should evaluate other key provisions such project financial information, emergency and safety, key personnel requirements, changes in law, termination, and other risk management steps to meet performance obligations and mitigate delay impacts.
This presentation will provide practical tools and contract language to address coronavirus risk proactively on new and existing contracts. Learn about potential obstacles as well as opportunities regarding possible insurance claims. You will also learn actions subcontractors may take even if their contracts do not specifically address force majeure events.
Hear from Brian Perlberg who is counsel to a coalition effort called ConsensusDocs which includes the endorsement of 40+ leading design and construction associations to draft best practice contracts that get better construction project results. He was recently recognized by ENR magazine as a leading legal voice and featured in Whose Who Legal for construction.
