Seminars

Large-scale construction projects involve a complex web of stakeholders, each with a different perspective on risk. Join Husch Blackwell and a panel of experienced construction, insurance, and finance professionals for a practical discussion on how owners, developers, lenders, general contractors, and key subcontractors can work together to identify, allocate, and manage project risks before they become costly claims.

Using real-world examples and lessons learned from today’s construction environment, our panel will explore how risk transfer, insurance, surety, and financing strategies should evolve throughout the project life cycle. Attendees will leave with actionable insights for creating alignment across project teams, strengthening protection against catastrophic losses, and making informed decisions during pre-construction and beyond.

  • Risk Strategy Across the Project Life Cycle
