Verrill’s Construction Legal Blueprint

Successful construction projects require more than sound engineering and skilled execution. They require a solid legal foundation.

Topics will include:

Construction Law

• Payment Remedies such as mechanics liens and bond claims

Labor & Employment

• Recent developments and requirements in Maine employment law affecting the workforce
• The contractor vs. employee classification and how to avoid common missteps in your construction workforce
• Employment law essentials including wage and hour, anti-discrimination, leave laws, and I-9 compliance

Gain practical insights to help manage risk, navigate complex legal issues, and strengthen your projects from the ground up.
