About Us

At last - The practical legal knowledge you need at an affordable price.

Everyday, construction professionals are faced with making decisions in a legal environment. One essential skill for the modern professional is a basic understanding of the American legal system and the contract principles by which project actions will be judged in a court of law.

By taking any of these programs, you will be in a far better position to see the opportunities and pitfalls in our contracts-laden industry, as well as those "red flags" that require senior management and legal attention - before they sink your project.

Our experts will teach you to catch problems and find solutions fast. You will learn the risks, traps, common errors and remedies of the construction industry - from the first shovel of dirt to the final ribbon cutting.

And if you have ever thought about going into the public works arena, there is no better place to start than the local and state contracts course, or the state-specialized government contracts and public works courses offered through this website.

Our programs are concise (1-2 hours) and highly targeted to the skills you need to succeed. These programs will teach you the vital survival skills for construction professionals; and, they are immediately available via the web, either live or through on-demand video, MP-3 or DVD/CD's, offered 24/7, all at a small fraction of the cost of out-of-town conferences

Our teaching professionals have taught Construction Law at the University of California - Berkeley, School of Architecture and the University of California - Irvine Graduate School of Business and UCI/Extension, and the Cal Poly Pomona & Fluor In-house Masters Degree Programs.

We guarantee your 100% satisfaction - or your seminar is free.
