Construction Law Today : Construction Lawyer & Attorney : Joshua Glazov : Design Build Contracts, Construction Bankruptcy

This afternoon I had the opportunity to present Fortifying Your Work-Out Against Future Bank Failure to Chicago's South Side Business Association (SSBA). The Grand Ballroom at 6351 South Cottage Grove Avenue in Chicago hosted the event. The SSBA is composed of many south side business owners, professionals, real estate developers, architects, engineers, contractors, and lenders. The seats were filled and the audience asked a lot of questions, most about how a bank failure could affect their business and how they could find opportunities from bank failures too.

My colleagues, Dennis Powers and Ty Laurie, just hosted a presentation about mothballed construction projects in collaboration with consultants James Schmid and Melissa Dimitri from Grant Thornton.
 

The speakers explained nuts and bolts options for owners, designers, contractors, and material suppliers when it becomes necessary to suspend work mid-stream on a construction project amid a recession.   They also addressed issues that potential purchasers of a mothballed project face, along with issues purchasers will need to address with their lenders.
 

If you didn't attend in person or view the live webcast, you can listen to the audio and follow the PowerPoint until September 4, 2009.  Or you can click and view just the PowerPoint slides.
