In the past, I’ve written about both contingency fees and mechanic liens. I think both of these topics are extremely interesting for the construction industry, and specifically for those interested in construction legal issues.
While I don’t usually post about upcoming seminars I’m uninvolved with, I do think it’s worth mentioning an upcoming “Southern Region Meeting” sponsored by the Commercial Law League of America. The meeting is February 24-26, 2011 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans, and on the program for construction law topics are these two great topics. Specifically:
Contingent Fee Based Complex Commercial Litigation (Ist It Willy Wonka or the Wizard of Oz?) &
Enforcing and Litigating Mechanic Lien Rights
You can read the Construction Law Programming summaries here at the Construction Law Monitor. Should be a very interesting talk on these two topics. With all the hoopla about alternative fees, I’m especially interested in the Contingent Fee presentation.
Here is a snippet (from the CLLA website) about the Commercial Law League of America:
The Commercial Law League of America (“CLLA”) is a respected organization of attorneys and other experts in credit and finance actively engaged in the field of commercial law, bankruptcy and insolvency. Since 1895, The CLLA has been associated with the representation of creditor interests, while at the same time seeking fair, equitable and efficient administration of bankruptcy cases for all parties in interest.
