Sunday Mock Trial & Cocktail Reception. 

Lawyers from the construction law firm of Laurie & Brennan, LLP will conduct a mock trial on legal matters near and dear to the construction financial manager’s heart – payment disputes.  The trial will cover issues concerning payment applications, unsigned change orders, payment of changes made in field directives, unsigned field tickets, liquidated damages for delay, labor inefficiencies and other obstacles to getting paid.   

There will be testimony from chief financial officers of the general contractor and subcontractor involved in the dispute, as well as a representative from the owner.  A judge will rule on the matter, informing the audience of how judges typically decide these issues and providing insight on the current status of construction law.   Lawyers from Laurie & Brennan participating in this trial include Ryan Hiss, Bill Toliopoulos, Erin Krejci, Phil Beyer and Kendall Woods.
