Construction projects come with a host of challenges, but none are more prevalent than builders' liens. From preservation and enforcement to lien removal, navigating Alberta's builders' lien legislation can at times seem like an archaic process. Still, knowledge of this legislation can provide meaningful assistance to development and construction industry participants.
We invite you to join the Blakes Calgary Construction Dispute Resolution group for a two-part webinar series where we will provide a comprehensive overview of Alberta's builders' lien legislation, including the amendments made by Alberta's new prompt payment legislation.
Over the course of the series, we will also provide practical guidance and tips for both owners and contractors when dealing with builders' liens on construction projects.
Topics:
-

Drafting to Address the New Builders' Lien Legislation (June 8, 2022): In this presentation, we will take a deep dive into the recent amendments to Alberta's builders' lien legislation and the accompanying regulations.
