ABOUT THIS EVENT

On December 5, 2024, in four convenient locations across the country, the ABA Forum on Construction Law will present “Infrastructure from the Ground Up: Civil Works Projects for Lawyers.”
 

MORE INFORMATION

When the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021 was enacted, the federal government opened a pipeline of federal dollars to rebuild and revitalize our aging infrastructure. Only half of the money has been disbursed so far; therefore, future design and construction opportunities abound. Make sure that your construction law practice remains competent and informed about the infrastructure required for commerce, community, and quality of life.

Taught by leading industry professionals in each location, this one-of-a-kind program provides a unique opportunity for both new and seasoned construction lawyers, as well as other construction industry participants, to gain a fundamental understanding of the key engineering and construction issues that govern major civil works projects, or “horizontal” construction. The range of projects covered includes transportation (highways, bridges, rail, ports and airports), water and wastewater (treatment, drainage and runoff), environmental and solid waste (hazardous waste investigation, remediation, and landfills), power (generation, storage and transportation) and geotechnical (site investigation and testing.

Those new to infrastructure and horizontal construction will acquire the knowledge necessary to comprehend complex technical concepts, identify and anticipate legal risks, counsel their clients more competently and, deliver great value when engaged on civil projects.
