Join the TBA Construction Law Section for its 2022 virtual forum on Jan. 28 from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. CST. The program will explore the unique aspects of the mechanics' and materialmen's lien law as well as issues such as when liens on leaseholds are proper, who qualifies as an "owner" for purposes of serving notices of nonpayment and lien, and what exactly is "visible commencement of operations" and "completion of the improvement." There will also be an ethical discussion on several topics, including whether an attorney can "bluff" by serving a notice of nonpayment and/or notice of lien when certain prerequisites have not been satisfied. The half-day CLE program qualifies for three hours of general credit and one hour of dual credit.
