Construction Law will help you:

• Negotiate construction contracts among the owner, architect, engineer, contractors, and subcontractors, even for the most complex project
• Effectively represent any of the parties to a construction contract
• Enforce your client's rights under the construction contract
• Establish liability under the contract for delay and cost overruns, negligence, fraud, and misrepresentation, as well as for all kinds of breaches (including anticipatory breach and breach of implied warranties)
• Obtain the proper remedy for your client, including compensatory, punitive, and consequential damages; specific performance; rescission and restitution; reformation; attorneys' fees; and interest
• Interpret industry-standard documents, such as owner-contractor, owner-architect, and architect-consultant Agreements

Construction Law's clear, concise coverage of every facet of construction law provides you with the legal analysis and practical information you need to handle any legal issue arising from a construction project. You'll find coverage of topics such as copyright protection, arbitration, and bankruptcy, with detailed synopses at the beginning of each chapter.
