Managing Risk Through Communication:

A Legal Seminar by Holly Newman

1.5 PDHs

Attend at the live site at Burns & McDonnell in Bloomington or via live webinar.

Program:

Essential to a successful project is how participants communicate – and what is communicated. This is especially relevant from a risk management perspective as every claim involves some level of communication issues.  The course will be presented by Holly Newman, Esq., followed by a question and answer session.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understanding the role of written and oral communication throughout the design, documentation, and construction administration and claims process.
   
2. Learning what must be documented to ensure that all participants understand the parameters of design, scope, and other key issues.
   
3. Learning how to mitigate risk for the public, the client, and the firm. Essential to a successful project is clear, concise communication and making sure that what you say is what you mean.
   
4. Understanding what to include in all project correspondence during Construction Administration as well as what not to include.
   

Presenter: 

Holly Newman is a partner with Dewitt, LLP and focuses her practice on advising construction industry members on legal issues, contract review, and construction litigation.  Holly has significant experience in representing design professionals in a variety of legal matters.  Holly is a frequent lecturer and has presented on topics related to construction claims, loss prevention for design professionals, and other legal issues.
