NRLRC breakfast
National Roofing Legal Resource Center Breakfast:
Catastrophic Roofing Failures Contractors Have Experienced
Sunday, Feb. 21, 2010
7 - 9 a.m.
Marriott
There is no lack of legal issues facing roofing contractors, and ignorance of the
law is no excuse when it comes to addressing these issues. Join us Sunday morning
for the National Roofing Legal Resource Center's (NRLRC's) breakfast to participate
in a frank discussion about the major legal issues and roofing failures contractors
are experiencing.
During the breakfast, NRLRC's expert panel will educate you about how to limit your
liability and protect yourself from a number of legal, technical and relationship
problems, including condensation problems related to white single-ply membranes;
how to comply with the new energy codes when they conflict with building codes;
responsibility for building code compliance for photovoltaic and vegetative roof
systems and how liability is and can be shifted; managing risk that is inherent
when using fume-emitting products and how to respond to those claims; and complying
with the Employee Free Choice Act.
NRLRC is pleased to welcome a panel of distinguished speakers, including Rene Dupuis,
president of Structural Research Inc., Middleton, Wis.; Mark S. Graham, NRCA's associate
executive director of technical services, Rosemont, Ill.; and Stephen Phillips,
a partner with the Atlanta-based law firm Hendrick, Phillips, Salzman & Flatt, Atlanta
