Christopher Petrucci on Common Project Pitfalls and Frequently Litigated Disputes

Chris Petrucci co-presented on "Common Project Pitfalls and Frequently Litigated Disputes" at the 12th annual Managing Risk in Construction Contracts & Projects. Construction projects are complex, with many moving pieces and potential for things to not go as planned. As such, they contain fertile ground for disputes often leading to litigation. Identifying common construction claims and working to avoid them must constitute an essential part of each party’s risk management plan. In the presentation, Chris and the panel addressed the following:

What owners and contractors tend to overlook in contract negotiation
Proactive steps that can be taken to recognize possible pitfalls
Establishing controls to deter disputes and change course as soon as issues arise
