On June 10, I will be co-chairing and my colleague Colm Nelson will be a panelist during the annual mid-year WSBA Construction Law Section CLE.  This program is a full-day webinar presented by the WSBA in partnership with Stoel Rives and will cover construction law updates, public works issues, and judicial perspectives on litigation in an evolving courtroom.  Colm, the chair of the Construction Law Section, will be on the panel “Notice and Termination Issues” and will also provide a section update. Other topics to be covered include:

  • One-hour ethics discussion
  • Annual Washington construction-related case law and legislative updates
  • Discussion of bid and proposal protests and litigation
  • Judicial panel perspectives on how trial and appellate practice continue to evolve in response to COVID
  • UCC applications to construction projects
  • COVID-19 impacts on the construction industry and workforce
  • Developments in Design Build and GCCM contracting
