VideosVideosDrew skillfully outlines the many new legal concerns design firms may encounter when undertaking Green Design Projects along with strategies to reduce exposures to claims and elimination of contractual obligations that may negate or void coverage for professional liability claims. Drew focuses principally on warranty and performance guarantee obligations that most generally are not covered by Design Errors and Omissions Insurance Policies. With many design firms exploring opportunities for Green Design Projects, viewing this video is highly recommended to receive both an excellent overview of sustainability of CO2 emissions and practical recommendations for protecting firms against assuming responsibilities not covered by their Professional Liability Insurance Policies.
