When the economy shifts mid-project, even the best plans are at risk of unraveling. This panel will help you see around corners and problem-solve in advance. From three perspectives — a construction litigator, a bankruptcy lawyer and a financial advisor — we’ll guide you to keep projects viable when costs surge, supply chains stumble or lenders tighten. Attendees will gain practical tools to counter the chaos of an unpredictable economy. You will leave with clear steps to build resilience into contracts and pathways to finish projects that were designed for steadier times.
