Lawyer-Led Contract Training for Construction Leaders

I deliver contract training for construction leaders who want to stop guessing and start making better decisions around risk, leverage, and accountability.


My work is shaped by years in the courtroom, litigating what happens when contracts and relationships break down, positions harden, and language that felt harmless during review becomes the center of the dispute. That perspective informs how I teach leaders to approach contracts with strategy, not hope.


This training is built for construction environments where the stakes are real, the questions are practical, and the decisions don’t come with perfect information.

Why This Work Is Done Live and In the Room

I do this work live and in the room because people don’t just hear it; they understand it.


This isn’t passive training. It’s interactive by design. Real questions come up, assumptions get challenged, and leaders build the judgment they need to apply contract strategy long after the session ends.


That’s what makes the difference between knowing what a contract says and knowing how to use it.

How I Show Up in the Room

I deliver lawyer-led contract training in three primary formats. Each is designed for a different audience and setting, but the approach stays the same: practical, consequence-driven, and grounded in how contracts actually function when things go sideways. 

In-House Team Contract Training

Association Partnership Training

In-House Team Contract Training

This format is designed for construction leaders and internal teams who want consistency in how contracts are reviewed, negotiated, and managed across the organization.


The focus is alignment. How risk is evaluated. How decisions get made. And how contract strategy shows up on real projects, not just in policy manuals.


Teams leave with a shared framework, clearer judgment, and a more confident approach to contract decision-making under pressure.

Industry Conferences & Stages

Association Partnership Training

In-House Team Contract Training


This format is built for conferences, summits, and industry events where the goal is to raise the level of thinking across an entire room.


Sessions are delivered as keynotes or breakouts and designed for live audiences and feature direct, engaging, and grounded-in-real-life construction scenarios. No legal jargon. No filler. Just practical contract strategy leaders can take back to their teams and projects.

Association Partnership Training

Association Partnership Training

Association Partnership Training

This format is designed for trade and industry associations that want to offer meaningful, high-value contract education to their members on a repeatable basis.


Trainings are structured, intentional, and built to run over time, giving members the opportunity to develop real contract judgment while providing associations with consistent, lawyer-led programming they can stand behind.

What Leaders Walk Away With

Regardless of the format, the outcome is the same: 


✅ clearer thinking around contract risk

✅ better questions during review and negotiation

✅ stronger decision-making under pressure
✅ fewer surprises later
 

This work isn’t about memorizing clauses. It’s about understanding how contracts actually behave and knowing how to respond before problems turn into disputes.

Bringing This Training to Your Room

If you’re evaluating options for your leadership team, your event, or your association, the next step is choosing the format that fits your audience and goals.


Each training format above is designed for a different setting, but all are built around the same principle: practical, lawyer-led contract strategy that leaders can actually use.
