Overview

A Practical Guide to Contracts, Design Risk, and Claims

This practical program shows where engineering risk actually lives - in contract language, design documents, and the provisions most likely to be overlooked until something goes wrong. Work through engineering contract clauses with a focus on indemnification and limitation of liability provisions. See how liability unfolds in real scenarios - from unclear delegated design to standard of care disputes and construction defects - and where contracts and engineering documents succeed or break down. Leave with concrete tools to deal with engineering matters in practice - register today!

  • Tighten scope and delegated design language to clearly allocate responsibility and reduce exposure.
  • Identify common drafting and enforceability traps for indemnity and limitation of liability provisions.
  • Spot how design failures originate in project documents.
  • Evaluate delay, disruption, and change claims involving design professionals.

  2. Indemnity and Limitation of Liability Provisions (With Sample Clauses and Case Law)
  3. Standard of Care and Professional Liability Framework
