ABA is thrilled to bring “Infrastructure from the Ground Up: Civil Works Projects for Lawyers” to Boston. This full-day event offers essential insights into major civil works projects, or “horizontal” construction, with sessions designed specifically for professionals throughout the AEC industry. What makes this program unique is its dual focus: part technical (covering how these projects are designed and built) and part legal (exploring common issues and how they’re resolved). Taught by leading industry experts, the program provides a deep dive into the engineering and construction issues driving key projects across sectors.

When the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021 was enacted, the federal government opened a pipeline of federal dollars to rebuild and revitalize our aging infrastructure. Only half of the money has been disbursed so far; therefore, future design and construction opportunities abound. Make sure that your construction law practice remains competent and informed about the infrastructure required for commerce, community, and quality of life.

Taught by leading industry professionals in each location, this one-of-a-kind program provides a unique opportunity for both new and seasoned construction lawyers, as well as other construction industry participants, to gain a fundamental understanding of the key engineering and construction issues that govern major civil works projects, or “horizontal” construction. The range of projects covered includes transportation (highways, bridges, rail, ports and airports), water and wastewater (treatment, drainage and runoff), environmental and solid waste (hazardous waste investigation, remediation, and landfills), power (generation, storage and transportation) and geotechnical (site investigation and testing).

Those new to infrastructure and horizontal construction will acquire the knowledge necessary to comprehend complex technical concepts, identify and anticipate legal risks, counsel their clients more competently and, deliver great value when engaged on civil projects.

Online registration will close on 12/2. On-site registration opens at 8:00am on December 5, 2024.
