Truth & Consequences – What happens if you agree to those inadvisable contract provisions?

Your lawyer, broker, risk manager or advisors tell you to avoid or reject certain contract clauses, but you are not in a position to follow that advice. What happens next? It is important to understand the possible consequences in order to make an informed business decision about accepting risk. Join construction lawyers Karen Erger and Eric Singer while they review the clauses you were warned about and illustrate the consequences of their acceptance. Karen and Eric will also discuss strategies for mitigating risks when you have no choice about the contract language.
