What’s New
Brief Note:
Greetings from the Editorial Team at Construction in Brief! We hope you had an enjoyable summer. We are gearing up for an exciting Fall with the opening of our new office in New York. Contractors working on residential projects in New Jersey should not miss the article, “New Jersey Courts Extend the Life of Liability for Condo Contractors”, and “Not So Fast! My Oil and Gas Lease Does What?” is a cautionary must-read for landowners involved in oil and gas leases.
We hope you will find some useful information in Volume 3 of Construction in Brief. Please let us know if there is any way we can assist you.
