Negotiating Contracts: Understand Your Risks

Architects are often faced with unreasonable contractual provisions generated by prospective clients or their attorneys. Onerous contract language can challenge an architect’s ability to protect public health and safety and threaten the very viability of the architect’s firm. This 90-minute webinar looks at the importance of clear, reasonable and coordinated contractual provisions and analyze non-standard professional services agreements as well as significant changes to AIA documents. Real-world examples are discussed including the negotiations needed to meet client needs while avoiding unreasonable risk.
