How to navigate Ontario’s new construction law landscape – the practical playbook

Ontario’s new Construction Act brings the most sweeping legal changes that the construction industry has seen in a generation. The landscape will become more complex as owners, contractors and suppliers adjust their operations and processes to accommodate the new obligations and to work within a fast-track adjudication system designed to resolve payment disputes quickly and efficiently. Learn the critical information you need to help you manage the operational and cultural changes on every project.

Join our expert faculty of construction lawyers and professionals – some of whom helped to write the new law – and read from their playbook on how to comply with the new legislation. This intensive full-day program will focus on the practical steps that owners, general and major trade contractors, subcontractors and suppliers need to take to satisfy the new obligations and underlying objectives: timely payment of accounts, dispute avoidance, and cost-effective claims management.

Topics will include:

• What’s covered and what’s not?
• Changes to liens and the lien remedy
• Rules of the new prompt payment regime
• Adjudication – what is the new system and how to make the process work for you?
• Perspectives include:
  • owner
  • general contractor/major trade contractor
  • trade contractor/supplier
