Paul Finamore and John Doran of Pessin Katz Law, P.A. in Maryland will discuss how the world of traditional construction defect claims might be affected by supply chain disruptions. While the risk transfer issues might sound the same, we will discuss how limited or late supplies and requests for information seeking last-minute change in products or specifications may lead to a rise in indemnity claims as well as increased risks for design professionals as deadlines will mandate shortened time for review and approvals.
