The law impacts every area of construction, and avoiding legal minefields is a constant battle.

From project inception, through bidding, contracting and subcontracting stages, to performance, completion claims and beyond, all parties and stages in the construction process are affected in some way by the great reach of the law.

If you want to have a better understanding and better knowledge of the law, and, even better - if you want to have a better feel for where the potential problems and pitfalls can arise on a project - and how best to avoid them, reserve your place today for CBMR's just-announced webinar, Construction Law Essentials.

This interactive course provides a general overview of the significant legal topics affecting public and private construction projects - and will benefit contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, materialmen, manufacturers, owners, architects, engineers, sureties, lawyers, and consultants.

Understanding the laws that impact your projects can give you a significant competitive edge. At the same time, a lack of critical awareness of these laws of a failure to abide by them puts your project and your firm at substantial risk.

Let the legal experts at Contractor's Business Management Report help you navigate the day to day challenges of construction law - in just 90 minutes.

Register today and you'll come away with a clearer awareness of the numerous laws that affect your work and a better understanding of the legal landmines that may crop up during construction projects.
