Explaining the basics of construction law, this is a practical and authoritative overview of the subjects that are at the heart of every construction law dispute. It is based on the concept that what sets construction lawyers apart from other lawyers is not just an understanding of the principles of law which govern construction work, but also their practical understanding of the industry itself and how it works.
Fundamentals of Construction Law, Third Edition, written by some of the best practitioners in the field, explains the key principles of construction law in a logical, useful format, making it a must-have for any lawyer practicing in this area, particularly those new to the field. Unique among construction treatises, it explains the perspectives of the various players in a construction project - owner, designer, constructor, and surety. Chapter authors provide extensive discussion of construction contracts and explain key contract provisions. Other topics include insurance, scheduling, delivery systems, payment provisions, change orders, termination, government contracts, defects, damages, and alternative dispute resolution negotiations and techniques.
The third edition has been revised and updated, including a new chapter providing an overview of the industry and an introduction to key construction and legal concepts addressed in more detail in each chapter of the Third Edition. Each chapter has also been updated to reflect current trends. In addition, new sections on integrated project delivery, public-private partnerships, and disputes review boards have been incorporated.
Lauren Catoe is assistant general counsel of AECOM Hunt, where she has been the primary in-house legal point of contact for projects such as SoFi Stadium (home of the National Football League's (NFL's) Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams), Intuit Dome (home of the National Basketball Association's (NBA's) Los Angeles Clippers), Moody Center at the University of Texas (a premier entertainment venue that also is home of the Texas Longhorns basketball teams), and the Terminal 3 Modernization at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Prior to joining AECOM Hunt, Lauren was a shareholder in the Tampa office of Carlton Fields, and her practice was focused on construction transactions. That focus has carried over into her inhouse role, as the majority of her time is spent on contract preparation, review, negotiation, and administration. Lauren is a former editor of The Construction Lawyer, which is the quarterly law journal of the ABA Forum on Construction Law. She received her B.S. degree in Business Administration with a major in Finance from the University of Florida and her J.D. degree from the University of Virginia School of Law.
