I deliver contract-focused keynote and breakout sessions for construction conferences and industry events, designed to help leaders think more strategically about how contracts actually shape risk, leverage, and outcomes.
These sessions are not legal updates, and they’re not clause-by-clause trainings. They’re built to give construction leaders a clearer, more intentional way to approach contracts before problems arise and positions harden.
The focus is practical. How contracts function. How decisions get made. And how to stop treating contract review like a box-checking exercise.

This session introduces the OWN approach to contract review and negotiation at a high level, giving participants a structured lens they can take back to their teams and apply immediately.
The session focuses on:
✅ how contract language quietly allocates risk
✅ where leverage is gained or lost during review and negotiation
✅ why small decisions early often create big consequences later
✅ how to approach contracts with strategy instead of instinct
Examples are drawn from real construction contracts and real disputes, but the emphasis stays on judgment, process, and framework; not legal detail.
This session is designed for:
👷 construction owners and executives
👷 project managers and project leaders
👷 contract managers
👷 subcontractors and trade partners
👷 mixed construction audiences
👷 anyone with a passion or interest in learning a better way to review construction contracts
The content is accessible without being watered down and works across experience levels, roles, and project types.
They walk away with:
⚡️ a clearer way to evaluate contract language
⚡️ better questions to ask during review and negotiation
⚡️ a stronger sense of what matters—and what doesn’t
⚡️ a practical framework they can apply across projects
That’s what makes this session work on a conference stage.
If you’re programming a construction-focused conference or industry event and are looking for a contract keynote or breakout session that delivers real value—without turning into a legal lecture—I’d be happy to discuss whether this is a fit.
