Defund the Lawyers – Contracting to Encourage Cooperation and Collaboration

Bill Tinsley will present "Defund the Lawyers - Contracting to Encourage Cooperation and Collaboration" at this year's Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) Florida Region Conference.

This presentation will outline how a well-written design-build contract can encourage cooperation and collaboration on the project, as opposed to drawing battle lines at the courthouse. In traditional design-bid-build, contracts often contemplate only failure with provisions and clauses that address what the aversive consequences will be once failure occurs. This presumption of failure results in contracts that do not contemplate how the contracting parties might appropriately reward one another for success and excellent performance.
