Understanding risk is essential to running a successful small firm practice. Join the AIA New Jersey Small Firm Exchange for an engaging and practical webinar designed to help architects better understand how contracts, professional obligations, and risk management strategies directly impact profitability and liability exposure.
This session explores the professional standard of care, the critical role contracts play in defining responsibilities and allocating risk, and how poorly written agreements can expose firms to unnecessary claims. Participants will also review key contract provisions that help protect fees, limit liability, and clarify the scope of services, along with common pitfalls to avoid when negotiating owner-generated agreements.
Ideal for small firm practitioners, emerging leaders, and firm owners, this program offers real-world legal insight to help architects strengthen practice operations and reduce risk.
