Legal issues that have surfaced during the housing downturn and how construction attorneys can help their clients navigate the uncharted waters of the slowdown will be discussed during a Construction Law Seminar in Las Vegas on Sept. 11-12

David Jaffe, NAHB staff vice president for construction liability and legal research, will participate in a Sept. 11 panel discussion on “Today’s Legal Challenges in Representing the Home Builder.”

Other panelists include Jeffrey Berger, general council and secretary for the home building operations of St. Louis-based McBride & Son Enterprises, and Jeffrey Masters, partner in the litigation department for Cox, Castle and Nicholson, LLP of Los Angeles.

In addition to the home builder-specific panel, the two-day seminar will also include topics such as right to repair statutes; the business and legal risks associated with building green; destroying or defending construction witnesses with technology in the courtroom; and more. The seminar will even feature a hands-on construction session that will enable participants to build a construction component.

The seminar is open to coverage attorneys, in-house counsel for construction or engineering firms, class action coordinating counsel, construction litigators, claims professionals, home builders and product manufacturers.

The seminar is being conducted by DRI, the Chicago-based national organization of defense trial lawyers and corporate counsel.
