Because we’ve spent a great deal of time and effort learning the ropes and standing toe-to-toe in the construction payment trenches with our clients, we feel a great responsibility to pass along that collected knowledge.
We invite you to join us.
No upcoming events scheduled.
Not only do we provide you with the tools, knowledge, and team to ensure you feel confident your rights are secured, but we’re prepared for the trenches and ready to coordinate with your legal team when things “go sideways” on one of your projects.
We’ll discuss what our very own Amy Houk has learned from working with contractors, suppliers, project teams, attorneys, executives, and business owners across the construction industry, along with some of the recurring themes that continue to show up regardless of company size, project type, or market conditions.
