Important contractual rights and remedies can be lost, hard-won statutory protections waived, and serious liabilities incurred—all through ignorance of the law. This newsletter is designed to give you, in 60 seconds, some more insight into legal problems faced by contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in the construction industry, so that you do not repeat their mistakes and, instead, successfully complete the job.

Code  § 11-4.1:1) on subcontractor claims for additional costs when the contract includes a subcontract provision limiting damages, as seen in BAE Sys. Ordnance Sys. v. Fluor Fed. Sols., LLC, 2022 WL 969773 (W.D. Va. March 30, 2022). Click the link above to download a PDF of the full 60 Second Construction Law Journal – Fall 2022.
