ACC Houston August Chapter Meeting CLE - Galleria Location
Hot Topics in Construction Contracting
August 9, 2022 | 11:30 am - 1:00 pm | Maggiano's Little Italy

Given the impacts of Covid-19, the supply chain crunch, world events, and changes in the law there are certainly new things to consider when entering into a construction contract and managing a construction project.  Some of these concepts like force majeure and price escalations will apply to other types of commercial arrangements too.  The following is a list of hot topics that are coming up frequently: 
 
1.    Force Majeure Clauses
2.    Price Escalations Clauses
3.    Contracting Methods (Does Cost Plus a fee or Cost Plus a fee up to a GMP make more sense now?)
4.    Considerations for permitting the early purchase and storage of materials (What do I need to be concerned with?)

Morgan Lewis lawyers, Chris McAuliffe and Kelly Kuschel, will be joined by the Associate General Counsel of Drexel University, Rebecca Lacher, for a pointed discussion on real estate and environmental concerns for in-house lawyers. The topics covered include: leasing, acquisition and disposition of real estate generally, in addition to environmental considerations.

Almost every company leases some form of space during its existence, which invariably leads to complaints about the time and expense incurred to negotiate the same, especially when they are often shoved in a drawer and never looked at again until there is an issue.  Our presentation will hopefully help you avoid that.  Among the items to be discussed are:

•           Negotiating letters of intent

•           Understanding what may be important in one lease may not be in another

•           Focusing on economics

•           Shortcuts to addressing key lease terms

•           Reviewing and negotiating levels of service

•           Avoiding the use of pre-printed forms

•           Don’t forget about your end of term obligations

Is Your Company Prepared for the LIBOR Phase-out? Key Issues and Steps (US)
Association of Corporate Counsel

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is being phased out on June 30, 2023, following allegations of manipulation. This has raised questions about what will replace LIBOR. The switch to another rate depends on the country where a company is located. While companies may still use LIBOR until June 2023, that extension is specific to the US dollar. This article discusses the transition.

Whether your company is about to upsize, downsize, relocate, or reconfigure its space, there is a good chance there is a construction project in your company’s future. During this CLE, you will learn about the risks associated with construction contracts under Texas law, and how to manage those challenges.

NOTE:

This 1-hour program will explore various real life scenarios in which existing real estate assets were leveraged to create additional value for corporate leadership teams in response to complex and changing business needs. You will learn how real estate can stretch beyond traditional notions of buy/sell/lease through advanced legal planning and analysis.
