The Oregon State Bar issued the first publication on construction law in 1989. It was an overwhelming success. Updates were published in 1993, 1997, 2004, and 2019. They have been likewise successful. The construction and design area of law continues to expand, and there are an ever-increasing number of lawyers representing clients in this practice area.
Construction Law in Oregon is the top resource for Oregon lawyers involved in commercial, design-build, residential, or state and local government construction projects. This book provides the information needed to successfully negotiate construction contracts, and handle disputes, claims, liens, bonds, and federal procurements. This edition includes a new chapter on insurance coverage issues.
