Best Practices for Documenting Construction Claims
A Husch Blackwell Construction Law Breakfast Series Program
Write it down, document agreements, record understandings. Contractors must maintain construction project documentation necessary to support a claim or defense. All too often, it is not until the financial realities of a potential construction claim sink in that parties realize the value of recording key agreements reached at the outset of a project.
Join attorneys from Husch Blackwell’s Construction team for a discussion of how and why documentary evidence can outweigh oral evidence and alleged verbal agreements when a construction claim arises.
What You Will Learn
- The value of keeping all correspondence
