SUMMARY:The 5 Biggest Mistakes Contractors Make to Kill their Own Claims
DESCRIPTION:This seminar identifies the five biggest mistakes that construction lawyers repeatedly see contractors make during the performance of a project that impact the viability and value of their claims.  After identifying these all-too common mistakes\, the presentation outlines practical solutions that can be implemented by any construction company to increase the probability of success when presenting claims of all types (changes\, differing site conditions\, delay\, impact\, inefficiencies).  The implementation of these practical steps in a contractor’s day-to-day project operations can help it avoid the traps that routinely result in the devaluation or outright defeat of otherwise meritorious claims.   \nConstruction attorney and ABC Member J.T. Gallagher of Hendrick\, Phillips\, Salzman & Siegel\, P.C. began working in construction in the Lehigh Valley as a plumber’s helper during high school and has been working in the industry ever since.  After obtaining his B.S. in Building Construction from the University of Florida and working for several years in construction project management\, J.T. obtained his J.D.\, with honors\, from Emory University School of Law.  He now specializes in complex construction litigation and utilizes his industry experience to effectively represents contractors\, subcontractors\, specialty trade contractors\, design professionals\, and owners in relation to all aspects of public and private construction projects.

SUMMARY:Becoming the “Pro” in Bid Protests
DESCRIPTION:Winning a public job is satisfying\, exhilarating\, and essential to a robust work pipeline.  And losing a public bid is…well\, the reverse.  So\, knowing how to protect your successful bid from challenge\, and knowing when to challenge an apparent low bidder\, are key tools for any contractor bidding public work.  Whether you have considered challenging a public bid but did not know what is involved or want to better protect your bid against challenges and rejection\, this course is for you. \nThis one-hour course will help you understand the legal aspects of public bidding\, award\, protests\, and rejections.  It will help you understand the difference between a material and non-material bid defect; between a waivable and non-waivable defect; between winning the contract and winning the right to re-bid.  Attendees will learn when to identify bid concerns\, how to protest\, when to protest and—just as important—when not to protest.  Your money is on the line\, so reserve your spot now! \n\nPresenter:\n \nAnthony Byler\, Attorney\nCohen Seglias Pallas Greenhall & Furman PC \nTony is a seasoned construction attorney with over three decades of experience advising owners\, contractors\, subcontractors\, and suppliers across all phases of the construction process.
