SUMMARY:Construction Law: Contract Risk Management for Project Managers [Virtual] 10/6 CV
DESCRIPTION:CONSTRUCTION LAW: CONTRACT RISK MANAGEMENT FOR PROJECT MANAGERS [VIRTUAL]\nTuesday\, October 6\, 2026  |  11:00AM – 12:30PM\nPayment disputes\, schedule delays\, liquidated damages\, design issues\, subcontractor defaults\, scope gaps\, and claims can quickly turn a project-management problem into a costly legal problem. Identify construction project risks before they become costly claims and disputes. \nWhy This Matters: Virginia courts can strictly enforce contractual claim procedures. A contractor may have a legitimate claim — but if the required notice is not given in the required manner and within the required timeframe\, the right to recover may be lost. \nJoin this practical\, virtual seminar geared toward project managers looking to strengthen their contract administration skills and minimize legal exposure. \nWhat you’ll learn:\n• How to identify common contract risks before they become claims\n• Understand key contract provisions that protect your organization\n• Recognize potential legal issues before they escalate\n• Improve project documentation and recordkeeping\n• Apply practical risk management strategies through the project lifecycle \nTopics to be covered:\n• Contract Claims & Notice Requirements\n• Mechanic’s Liens in Virginia\n• Public and Private Payment Bond Rights\, Including the Federal Miller Act and Virginia’s Little Miller Act\n• Pay if Paid Clauses and Claims Waivers and how they are handled in the state of Virginia \nThis is a live\, virtual seminar. Attend from anywhere to gain practical tools to help manage contract risk on every project. \nSPEAKER\nScott W. Kowalski\, Chairman of the Board of Directors for PLDR Law\, has focused his practice on construction law and litigation since 1997\, and has attained the Martindale-Hubbell AV-Preeminent Rating. His areas of practice include construction law\, surety law and litigation. \nAfter clerking at the United States Court of Federal Claims\, Scott practiced for over a decade in the McLean\, Virginia office of the construction law firm Watt\, Tieder\, Hoffar & Fitzgerald\, LLP. In 2009\, Scott returned to his hometown of Lynchburg with his family\, joined PLDR Law\, and has continued to exclusively practice construction law\, representing owners\, design professionals\, contractors\, subcontractors\, and suppliers in many facets of construction projects\, including drafting and negotiating contracts\, bid protests\, contract claims\, mechanic’s liens and payment bond claims\, insurance coverage issues\, as well as the mediation\, arbitration\, and litigation of claims and disputes. \nLOCATION\nVirtual\nA meeting link will be sent within 24 hours of webinar \nCOST \nMembers – $40\nNon-Members – $80 \nSUBSTITUTION/CANCELLATION POLICY\nSubstitutions are always welcome if the originally registered individual(s) can no longer attend.
