Shumaker Launches Blog About Trends and Legal Issues in Construction Industry
Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) April 26, 2016 -- The full-service business law firm Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP has just launched a blog about legal issues, trends and legislative updates related to the residential and commercial construction industry.
The Shumaker Construction Trend blog was the brainchild of Shumaker attorney Christopher A. Staine.
“Our goal is to keep people informed about relevant issues in construction, and we thought the blog would be a great way to educate people about the intricacies of the industry,” Staine said.
New posts will be added to the blog once or twice a month, but additional updates will be posted when issues arise that are relevant to the industry. The first post delves into Chapter 558, a law that’s referred to as Florida’s “opportunity-to-cure” statutes. The law requires aggrieved owners to place contractors and design professionals on notice of construction defects and potentially allow the alleged defects to be resolved.
Several Shumaker attorneys will contribute to the blog by writing about their expertise, including Staine, Anthony J. Abate, Cate Wells, Brian R. Lambert, Michele Leo Hintson, James S. Savalli and Tyler A. Hayden.
“The Construction Trend blog will include something for everyone – from owners and developers to contractors and design professionals,” Staine said. “The posts will be about topics that run the full gamut of the construction industry, including single-family residences, condominiums and commercial developments.”
