Summary: 5 Stars
Contractor's Plain-English Legal Guide by construction law attorney Quenda Story is a no-nonsense, "user friendly" guidebook to dealing with tangled legal issues that are so much a part of the conflict-laden, litigation prone business world of construction. From the basic requirements of a contract to dealing with the IRS to warranties and choosing a lawyer, Contractor's Plain-English Legal Guide explains the details in terminology lay readers can readily understand. A highly recommended and practical reference for prime contractors and subcontractors, Contractor's Plain-English Legal Guide is also invaluable for anyone else involved with, or considering a career in, the business and contractual end of the construction industry.
Summary of Contractors Plain English Legal Guide
For today's contractors, legal problems are usually hidden, like snakes in a swamp. This book shows you where to find them before they find you.You're less likely to need a $200-an-hour guide with a law degree if you follow the simple directions in this easy-to-read guidebook. It gives you directions on the simple tasks you can do yourself without the help of a lawyer, as well as point out to you when you may actually need a highly-paid lawyer to take your case.
For the price of about 15 minutes in a lawyer's office, you'll have a guide that will make many of those visits unnecessary. You'll find directions for starting a business, what to put in every contract, how to collect what's owed you, what laws affect your jobs, what to do about job injuries, how to file a lien that holds up, how to handle warranties, and where you're reliable for subcontractors.
Contractor's Plain-English Legal Guide includes a FREE CD-ROM with all the legal forms shown and explained in the book, plus extra forms with filled-out copies as examples.
Use this practical guide to avoid the common legal mistakes that sink most construction businesses.
