Risk Management & Contract Guide for Design Professionals Previously out of print, our very popular first book is now available in electronic format! The ideal companion to Risk Management for Design Professionals in a World of Change.
Over 300 pages of commentary on risk management and contracts. Written by attorney, Kent Holland, based upon his knowledge and experience from over 20 years working with design professional contracts, risk management and insurance. This is a practical guide to help design professionals and those who work with design professionals to better understand and manage risks and liabilities potentially arising out of contracts, communication, and documentation.
Much attention is given to explaining how contract language may affect the availability of insurance coverage for claims against design professionals. Several chapters address managing communication and documentation, with particular emphasis on email, and records maintenance, retention, and destruction.
Over 30 clauses that may be of particular concern for risk management and insurability of risks are discussed. For each of these clauses, one or more key issues is considered.
Extensive examples and commentary are offered on various provisions of the AIA and EJCDC forms.
In addition to discussing example contract clauses, we have included a discussion of risk management of communication and documentation. As you will see from the litigation examples referenced, many claims against design professionals could be avoided or mitigated through better communication and documentation. This is such an important issue that entire seminars are devoted to it.
The book includes optional AIA approved continuing education exams up to 8 Learning Units (credit for exams are purchased separately, see below.) Chapters include:
