Effective Advocacy for Construction Lawyers

Improving advocacy skills for Arizona construction lawyers is the focus of this Spring's Construction Law Section program. The half-day program will cover a wide range of topics, including:
 

• Advice from top mediators on writing effective mediation briefs and settlement conference letters
• Asserting claims against design professionals (even if Donnelly is no longer good law) 
• Tips from Superior Court judges on how to best present specialized construction law issues (especially in motion practice) 
• Thorny issues when drafting settlement agreements in construction cases
•  Untangling the confusing and often conflicting web of Arizona prompt pay cases
