Understanding & Negotiating Construction Contracts

5370 Elvas Avenue

Sacramento, CA 95819

Brought to you by Porter Law Group & SRBX

Whether you’re signing someone else’s contract or drafting your own, you need to understand the meaning of important contractual terms. Otherwise it is impossible to allocate risk or negotiate terms.

In this 90-minute seminar, you’ll learn the meaning of important contractual terms, their consequences and how to revise terms for your own benefit.

Answering questions such as:

• What exactly are indemnity, defense and hold harmless clauses and how do I revise those terms for my own benefit?
• Can I be held liable for the work of other contractors and subcontractors on a project? How do I eliminate this liability?
• Can I be forced to perform work without a written change order?
• Can I be required to wait for the general contractor to receive payment before I get paid?
• How do I convince the owner or general contractor that they should accept my proposed changes?
• What should I do if the owner or general contractor will not accept my proposed changes?
