SUMMARY:It’s Not Just Boilerplate: 10 Common Contract Clauses that May Shift Significant Risk for Engineers
DESCRIPTION:Contracts between consulting engineering companies and their clients are essential to setting expectations for projects. Many of the "boilerplate" clauses in owner and form contracts have very real impacts on an engineer's risk and obligations throughout the project. This discussion will look at 10 clauses\, in particular\, that every engineer needs to understand and negotiate during the contracting process. The in-depth look at these clauses will help attendees understand how they could be impacted. We will also discuss strategies for negotiating these clauses to ensure that firms are not taking unintended risk on projects.\n\n \n\nPresenter: Eric Heiberg is a partner at the law firm of Heley\, Duncan & Melander\, PLLP. He has advised design professionals for over 20 years on contractual\, professional liability\, and ethical issues. Eric is also a seasoned litigator and advocate who works tirelessly on behalf of his design professional clients in all types of claims litigation. Eric negotiates contracts on behalf of dozens of member firms and counsels them on the risk they may be taking throughout the negotiation process.
