Legal Foundations Lunch & Learn Series: Liquidated Damage, Consequential Damages Waivers, and Limitations of Liability

May 9, 2024 at 12:00pm12:30pm

Our Legal Foundations Lunch and Learn Series features monthly 30-minute webinars that provide in-depth insights into recent updates, industry trends, and key issues impacting the construction industry. On May 9 at 12:00 noon, Preti Flaherty attorneys Kenneth Rubinstein and Nicholas Dube will present a discussion on liquidated damages, consequential damages waivers, and limitations of liability.

While one of the last things owners and contractors want to talk about at the outset is what happens if a project goes wrong, decisions about damages and limitations of liability are essential to pricing a contract's risks and understanding how each party is protected. Join us for a practical discussion on what these clauses can mean when things turn out unexpectedly and how the right (or wrong) wording can play out with real-world examples.
