Sessions from the TBA’s 2022 Construction Law Forum are now available as a 1-Click Package. Purchase the full forum or just the individual sessions desired. This year’s forum focused on the unique aspects of mechanics' and materialmen's lien law, exploring special situations such as when liens on leaseholds are proper; whether a lien or bond claim should be used against a hybrid project; who qualifies as an "owner" for purposes of serving certain notices; and what exactly is "visible commencement of operations" and "completion of the improvement." There also will be an ethical discussion about whether lawyers can "bluff" by serving a notice of nonpayment and/or notice of lien when certain prerequisites have not been satisfied?
