And by the time a lien or bond claim hits your desk, critical mistakes may already have happened. This essential program cuts through the mess and gives clear, real-world answers. Learn how to navigate contract clauses, distinguish compensable vs. non-compensable delays and changed work claims, and spot documentation failures before they destroy your client's rights. Help clients avoid payment traps - register today!

  • Determine what work is compensable and what will never get paid without the right documentation.
  • Anticipate the fatal mistakes that destroy mechanic's lien and bond claims.
  • Advise clients on when owners or general contractors can - and cannot - legally withhold payment.
