ACEC Wisconsin fought successfully to pass legislation restricting the use of indemnification and duty to defend clauses in public contracts. The new legislation is already in effect but what does it mean for your firm? Join us to learn what your firm should look for in contracts and how you can protect your business.

Attendees are encouraged to come with questions for our expert speakers.

It’s vital that our members know what to look for in new contracts and how modifications can be made if the contract contains illegal provisions. This informative session will feature basic information on the legislative change and more in-depth review of proper contract language.

Learning Objectives:
  • Understand previous legislative standards and what the new law means for public contracts.
  • Discover how your firm can benefit from these changes and what to look for in contract language.
  • Learn about how restricted use of indemnification and duty to defend clauses protects your business and your employees.
