Offit Kurman construction law attorney Wojciech "Voytek" Jackowski will present “Negotiating with Owners for Architects” in partnership with the Society of American Registered Architects (SARA NY). The event will take place at Offit Kurman’s New York office on November 6, 2024.

  • Risk Management: Identifying and mitigating risks, legal compliance, and the use of insurance and indemnity clauses.
