The Worst-Case Scenario: A Risk Management Survival Handbook for Architects
AIA Chicago, 35 East Wacker Drive, #250
A Google search of the phrase “When this happens, do this…” finds 117,000,000 hits. Luckily, there is a far shorter list of good risk management responses to dilemmas such as “I do not have site observation in my contract, but I can see that the contractor is not building what I designed…” or “I just saw on the news that the walkway collapsed…”, or “With this client I have to hire the asbestos abatement consultant…”. Join experts attorney Laurie Randolph from Hinshaw & Culbertson and broker Melissa Roberts from USI for a lively discussion with simple steps on how to manage through worst-case scenarios.
Participants will:
1. Review the ethical and legal obligations they may have outside of their contract requirements
2. Learn three easy contract additions to balance risk in an otherwise risky project
3. Examine the critical first steps when a crisis occurs
4. Gain the tools to tailor a project risk management matrix for their own firms
Speakers:
Melissa S. Roberts, AAI, Vice President, USI Midwest
Laurie Randolph, Attorney at Law, Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP
8:30 am registration and light breakfast
