Construction Law
DRI’S Construction Law Seminar is designed to enhance the practice of all construction industry professionals—from experienced defense attorneys, to risk managers, to construction executives and even to those who are new to construction litigation. This year’s seminar will focus on the experienced litigator seeking to develop advanced skills for getting a case to resolution. Topics include effective voir dire, jury persuasion, mediation and negotiation. Each will be presented by a well known authority on that subject. There will also be in-depth presentations on evolving strategies for risk transfer and an update on the latest court decisions affecting insurance coverage for construction defects. DRI is proud to present a number of nationally known speakers on all of these timely topics. The seminar will also include a hands-on presentation showcasing a construction technique to provide insight into the actual construction work that underlies the claims.
