Legal Issues with Green Design and Construction Seminar

LEGAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH GREEN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

In concert with K&L Gates, the Wilmington-Cape Fear Home Builders Association is hosting an informative seminar on Green Construction Issues aimed at developers, contractors, building owners, architects, engineers, and suppliers with innovative green products on April 13th from 11:30 am till 1:00 pm at the UNCW Madeline Suite. With the number of LEED, NAHB Green and EnergyStar projects built and planned for our community, it is critical that all parties understand the changing roles, risks and relationships that are present with these green endeavors.

Leading the course will be Eric Braun and Stanford Baird, attorneys with the K&L Gates office in Raleigh. Mr. Braun and Mr. Baird, both LEED Accredited Professionals, will cover topics including:

• The risks and legal aspects involved with green projects and certifications
• The downsides to not meeting certain levels of certifications
• Risks to all parties to the construction contract
• Down-the-road requirements and liabilities
• Proactive strategies to address the issues
