In our continuing effort to provide the AEC community with the highest level of thought leadership in practice technology, Microsol Resources is pleased to announce the next session in our Executive Breakfast Series - New BIM Contracts: A Legal Perspective. Our featured speaker for this crucial session for Partners and Principals is nationally recognized construction attorney Richard Lowe, Partner, Duane Morris, LLP.

No one can deny that implementing BIM is more than just a technical/CAD decision. When utilizing BIM technologies and methods to deliver a project, you cannot separate software "picks and clicks" from your core management and business decisions - especially contracts. This is especially true on projects where everyone from architects to sub-contractors and manufacturers are now contributing 3D data to a "federated model". In this environment it becomes absolutely critical to address basic questions of ownership, risk and reward.

Our featured speaker, attorney Richard Lowe is recognized as a pioneer in BIM and construction law. In addition to having served as the co-chair of the American Bar Association's Construction Litigation Committee, Rick is the current Chair of the Association of General Contractor's BIMForum Legal Subcommittee where he led the effort to create the ConsensusDocs BIM Addendum, the first contract document in the world to specifically address the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Rick will bring his un-matched knowledge to bear in addressing the many questions now facing AEC professionals in a BIM world:

• Who owns what?
• Who is responsible for changes?
• What can an Owner expect?

Rick will address these questions and many more, from the most basic to the complex.

If you're a Partner in an AEC firm that's already delivered a project using BIM, if you have just received your first RFP where an owner is asking for a BIM deliverable, or even if your firm is in the middle of a BIM project and trying to coordinate multiple models from several entities, Microsol Resources invites you to join us for this exciting, high-value session.
