Termination of Contracts and Subcontracts Presented by:
Daniel D. Rounds & Nick Surace
Smith Pachter McWhorter, PLC Learn termination best practices, various considerations before making a decision to terminate as well as other factors to stay out of court. Construction contracts have evolved to recognize an owner’s right to terminate a contractor before project completion without rendering the action a breach of contract. Standard contract clauses define an owner’s and a contractor’s rights and obligations in the event of a termination. Terminating a contract is a major decision not to be taken lightly. Join attorneys Daniel Rounds and Nick Surace to understand the background issues relating to the different termination scenarios, practical considerations, remedies, recovery and rights to appeal, including: - Termination for default — factors for owners to consider before making the decision
- Role of the surety on a default termination
- Termination for convenience — what the contractor should do when receiving a termination notice
- What costs are recoverable on termination for convenience
- Public vs. private clauses; termination of subcontracts
- And much, much more!
