Training Course
Syllabus:
This seminar is designed for attorneys, presidents and vice presidents, accountants, controllers, construction and project managers, business owners and managers, credit managers, lenders, architects, engineers, principals, contractors, subcontractors and developers.
When the work is finished, the most pressing issue for contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and design professionals is to get paid. On the other hand, owners, developers and lenders want to make sure they are not required to pay twice for the same labor and materials. The laws related to these competing interests must be understood to avoid substantial financial losses.
It is the goal of this seminar to provide those who work in construction-related jobs with the Nevada law, forms, techniques and strategies to properly create and preserve your mechanics’ lien rights.
