Beginning this Friday, I will be joining some great folks on the faculty of the 35th Annual Construction and Public Contracts Law Seminar.    This year I am very honored to be joining Hanna Blake to discuss the topic of “How to Prosecute and Defend Payment Bond Claims.”  Aside from our presentation, the topics range from legal ethics to preparing a construction claim and Virginia construction case law updates.  Oh, and by the way, you can complete your Virginia MCLE requirement in one fell swoop.  In short, there is something for old hands and newly minted attorneys alike.

Even if I weren’t speaking at this year’s event, I’d be sure to attend as I have every year for the last few years (read this for my thoughts on last year’s event).  Not only to I almost inevitably gain some insight into the construction process or some aspect of construction law that makes my solo construction practice even better, I get to chat with new and old friends and new friends alike.  I also get a chance to knock around ideas as to how to pursue a case and also to make connections with other Virginia construction attorneys in the process.

If you are attending this year, look me up, I look forward to seeing you in Charlottesville.  If you aren’t signed up yet, take a last minute chance to do so, you’ll be glad you did.

As always, I welcome your comments below.  Please subscribe to keep up with this and other Construction Law Musings.
