In a world of contracts and insurance, this program will answer some of the most important questions architects may have. What requirements should architects be looking for in contracts and certificates of insurance?  What are the key elements in a certificate of insurance and what is their significance?  What are some of the key contract provisions to watch for, both in prime agreements and in sub consulting agreements?

Learning Objectives

• Architects who are just beginning to negotiate contracts will learn how to identify issues of key importance.
• Architects with more experience in negotiating contracts will learn new ways to better understand the issues and explain them to clients and consultants.
• All participants will discover emerging risks and requirements and gain more clarity on how to navigate them.
• All participants will become more familiar with the language of industry standard documents and the process by which they serve all project stakeholders fairly.

Presented by

Barbara Sable, Director of Client Engagement and Risk Management, Nexus Professional Risk

 A New Jersey native, graduate of Northwestern “Go Cats!”, Director of Client Engagement and Risk Management, Barb joined Nexus in 2020. With 35+ years in the insurance industry, Barb has earned the nickname Big Sister as she is always looking to offer words of wisdom and sound advice for clients and colleagues. With a BA in Mathematics, Barb was attracted to working with A&E firms as her degree intersected nicely with design. A full day for Barb would include a hike along the C&O canal, hearing a client say “Thanks! That’s really helpful”, and raising funds for her favorite nonprofits. Always looking at the sweeter side of life, her first job was working at a family-owned store and getting paid in candy and ice cream. Good luck reaching Barb on June 20th as it’s likely she and her husband, Craig, will be enjoying the longest day of the year with Ruthie their English Pointer.
