Baltimore, MD – Ober|Kaler is pleased to announce the release of Construction Subcontracting: A Comprehensive Practical and Legal Guide, edited and co-authored by Joseph C. Kovars of the firm’s Construction Group.
Published by the American Bar Association’s Forum on the Construction Industry, this book examines the legal relationships between the many parties in a typical construction project: general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, designers and others. Construction Subcontracting: A Comprehensive Practical and Legal Guide brings together a team of experienced attorneys to examine this subject with both a breadth and depth of coverage. Topics include the subcontract document and performance; insurance, bonding and licensure; disputes and different methods for resolution; special project issues, including public projects, alternative delivery methods, and green/sustainable building; and other contracting arrangements.
In addition to serving as one of the book’s editors, Mr. Kovars authored the chapter “Scheduling, Delays and Coordination.”
