Wood Smith Henning & Berman is pleased to announce the partners Keith Smith and Ian Baldwin will be featured speakers at the upcoming advanced-level CLE course Tackle the Trickiest Construction Contracts, a virtual construction law conference for seasoned practitioners. Their presentation, the Six Pain Points in Construction Contracts, will offer fellow legal counsel practical strategies for navigating high-stakes construction contract issues. The presentation will take place on June 5, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. and will kick off the day-long conference.
"Our session will take a deep dive into recurring issues that cause the most friction in construction contracts," said Smith. "By identifying where things most often go awry, we can empower construction participants to build stronger, clearer contracts that will withstand scrutiny."
The conference is designed to address the most pressing challenges attorneys face in drafting and negotiating construction agreements, including such issues as indemnity clauses, scope of work documentation, government procurement hurdles, change orders, and liability in circumstances of force majeure. Attendees will walk away with real-world insights and case law updates tailored to help them mitigate disputes and protect client interests.
"Construction law is constantly evolving," commented Baldwin. "This CLE is an opportunity to explore not only legal nuances, but also the practical approaches that make a difference for clients on the ground."
