Inside AIA Construction Contracts: What In-House Counsel Need to Know
Event Description
AIA construction contracts have become the gold standard for structuring complex construction projects. With pre-drafted templates for architects, general contractors, subcontractors, and consultants, they offer consistency, clarity, and wide industry recognition. But for in-house counsel, understanding what’s in these agreements—and what’s missing—is essential to managing risk, negotiating effectively, and supporting your business objectives in development and construction projects.
Join us on Wednesday, September 10 at 3pm ET / 12pm PT as Theresa Golde, JD, Special Counsel at The Schoenbaum Firm and former General Counsel of HEXAH, shares practical insights on reviewing and negotiating AIA Owner–Contractor agreements. Drawing from years of experience overseeing civil engineering, construction, and affordable housing development contracts, Theresa will walk through the key clauses in AIA templates—and how in-house teams can improve and tailor them for real-world use.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- When to use stipulated sum vs. cost-plus contracts—and the importance of guaranteed maximum pricing
- What to know about retainage, interest, and lien waivers in practice
- The risk implications of limitation of liability and consequential damage waivers
- Best practices for structuring payment terms, including “pay when paid” clauses
- How to navigate unique tax and termination provisions, especially for nonprofit developments
Who Should Attend:
This CLE is tailored for in-house counsel supporting real estate, construction, procurement, or nonprofit development projects who want to build fluency in AIA Owner–Contractor agreements and sharpen their ability to review, revise, and negotiate them with confidence.
There is NO COST to attend this program!
