Supply Chain Impacts on Construction Contracting: Legal Considerations and Risk Mitigation Best Practices

Join Dykema’s Steve Mroczkowski as he moderates a discussion with Melanie Chico and David Vanderhider as they present updates on recent legal trends in the construction industry, with a focus on construction contracting supply chain issues. Continued supply chain issues, including lack of materials, increased material costs, and even labor shortages, have resulted in force majeure events, cost escalation, and delay claims on construction projects. These issues can hinder the performance of contractual obligations and slow down projects, leading to increased litigation and causing overall business disruption in the construction industry. Because supply chain issues and related legal consequences can be difficult to anticipate and prevent without careful planning, Steve, Melanie and David will discuss ways that construction industry participants can mitigate risk and best position themselves when these issues and claims arise.

Tuesday, October 25
1:00 – 2:00 pm ET

Speakers: Melanie Chico, Member, Chicago; David Vanderhider, Member, San Antonio
