WPL Publishing to Host "Practical Contract Law for Architects and Engineers" Webinar
Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 03, 2014 -- WPL Publishing soon will present a webinar to help architects and engineers understand how engineering and construction contracts are drafted and interpreted. The event also will explain how typical owner, A/E, and contractor interpretations create conflicts on construction sites and how disputes should be resolved.
Professionals attending the webinar, entitled “Practical Contract Law for Architects and Engineers,” will learn the basic concepts of contracts and the rules of contract formation, the basic rules of both tort and contract law, and the importance of intellectual property law for design professionals. Attendees also will be able to do the following: compare express contract requirements to implied contract requirements; review typical requirements for changes, differing site conditions, and delay and acceleration claims on construction projects; determine how best to respond to disputes on construction contracts; and understand the benefits of various forms of alternative dispute resolution.
