TH39 Exploring Legal and Insurance Issues in Collaborative Design
05/15/2008, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM


Learning Units: 1.50-Intermediate level

Training Units: 0.375-Training Area 15 (Office Management)

Collaborative design is radically refabricating the future of professional practice as new ways to give the client a better project are explored. The many creative forms of integrated practice challenge well-founded legal principles and insurance coverage products which, by necessity, follow rather than lead business and professional transformations. To lead future forms of collaboration and integrated practice, an understanding of these issues is vital.

Learning Objectives:
  • Identify the challenges to your professional status and independent business operations that result from collaborative design and integrated practice
  • Evaluate the benefits and risks of new practice paradigms that use collaborative design and construction tools and techniques and discover the importance of careful contractual arrangements to mitigate your business and professional liability exposures
  • Summarize how law and insurance are challenged by the rapid changes of practice so that firms can develop their own risk management methodologies to control the professional and business liability exposures to their practice
Speakers: Charles R. Heuer, Esq., FAIA; Dan Knise; Frank Musica, Esq., Assoc. AIA; and Lorna M. Parsons, Hon. AIA

Providers: AIA Trust, Ames & Gough, Heuer Law Group, and Victor O. Schinnerer and Company Inc./CNA Insurance
