Join us December 5–6, 2022, in Charleston, SC at the Charleston Marriott Hotel for the 2022 NC/SC Joint Construction Law Conference, a 2-day continuing legal education event allowing North Carolina and South Carolina attorneys the opportunity to discuss legal issues of common significance.

This year's program includes an impressive faculty line-up and addresses several topics of interest to construction lawyers in the Carolinas:

• Day one dives into claims against design professionals and hear from a forensic engineer about construction defect trends. There is an extended discussion on commercial general liability insurance – a hot topic in the industry. The day ends with a discussion on risk allocation from both the litigation and arbitration perspectives.
• Day two features several breakouts, by state, with a focus on construction liens and case law updates. The program concludes with a dynamic legal ethics presentation, which focuses on the primary rules of donduct related to conflicts of interest, with an emphasis on identifying and resolving conflicts in the construction law area.

This year, the conference is hosted by the SC Bar.
