The Construction Law Section had an exciting final few months of 2019. Our board members hosted several fascinating and informative breakfasts on essential industry-related subjects, including helpful tips and lessons learned; and the proper handling of scheduling, delay and loss-of-productivity claims.

We were particularly excited for our Winter Social on December 19, 2019 at Del Frisco’s Grille in Buckhead. Section members and their colleagues gathered for great food and fellowship. But, more importantly, since the holidays are a time for helping those in need, we encouraged our members to bring toys to donate to our local chapter of Toys for Tots. It was great to give back to our community!

Section Breakfast Meeting & Presentation
On Thursday, October 24, 2019 the Construction Law Section and Real Estate Section held a joint breakfast at the Atlanta Beltline, focusing on the "Catalyst for Economic and Community Growth."

Speakers for the breakfast included President and CEO Clyde Higgs (Atlanta Beltline, Inc.) and General Counsel Aasia Mustakeem (Atlanta Beltline). E. Tyron Brown (Hawkins Parnell & Young LLP) was the moderator.

Looking forward, our Section will have more breakfast events to discuss industry ethics, legislative updates, an inside-look at in-house counsel, and the current state of the construction industry.
