Description


Construction Law:  Recent Cases Every Contractor Should Know

Texas courts continue to shape the rules that govern how contractors win, lose, and get paid on construction projects. This program walks through recent Texas decisions on the issues contractors face most often, using real-world project scenarios to explain what the courts decided, why it matters, and what contractors can do differently on their next job. Topics include force majeure, the authority of project representatives, conditions precedent, time-is-of-the-essence provisions, indemnity, dispute resolution forums, payment releases, and delay damages on public projects.

Program Objectives

Upon completing this course, participants will be better equipped to understand and apply how Texas courts analyze:

  • Force majeure clauses;
  • The legal authority of project managers and other project representatives;
  • Conditions precedent, including permits and drawings;
  • Time-is-of-the-essence provisions;
  • Indemnity obligations;
  • The selection and enforcement of dispute resolution forums;
  • The effect of payment releases; and
  • Recovery for owner-caused delays on public projects.

Target Audience

This course is designed for entry- to mid-level construction professionals who want a practical understanding of the legal and contractual issues that arise in day-to-day project management, including:

  • Project Administrators and Project Coordinators
  • Project Engineers
  • Assistant Project Managers
