DESCRIPTION:You did the work. You deserve to get paid. So why are so many contractors leaving money on the table? \nThe mistakes that kill contractor claims aren’t made in the courtroom — they’re made on the jobsite\, every day\, by good contractors who just didn’t know better. This seminar is your chance to change that. \nJoin construction attorney J.T.

Better yet\, he’ll show you exactly how to fix them. \nAnd this isn’t some attorney who only knows construction from a conference room. J.T. started out as a plumber’s helper in the Lehigh Valley\, earned his degree in Building Construction\, spent years in construction project management\, and then took his industry knowledge into the courtroom. He knows your world because he lived it. \nYou’ll walk away knowing how to protect yourself on: \n• Change orders and scope disputes\n• Differing site conditions\n• Delay and impact claims\n• Inefficiency claims \nThis is practical\, real-world advice you can put to work on your next project immediately. \nDon’t wait until you’re in a dispute to learn this.
