Tom Lether is proud to once again be the chairperson for the Seminar Group’s Insurance in the Construction Industry Law seminar. This two-day event, which Tom has chaired for the last 4 years, is this year focusing particularly on insurance issues involving the construction industry. The speakers include a number of experienced attorneys from both sides of the industry, a panel discussion with active Superior Court judges and a mock negotiation involving stipulated settlement issues. The two-day seminar on insurance in the construction industry will allow attendees to gain a better understanding of the wide variety of insurance issues involving construction law. The seminar is particularly timely given the current construction boom throughout the Northwest Region.

We look forward to having you join Tom and the rest of the speakers for this presentation.
