Written in 2009 by a lawyer and civil engineer with 30 years experience.

California is creating jobs and building for the future with heavy investment in public infrastructure. However, these multi-billion dollar projects can get bogged down by litigation that damages their economics and invites public outrage and increased regulatory scrutiny.

Lawyers who safely guide their clients' projects around these obstacles attract and retain more clients, and earn the respect of their peers.

Attorney and professional engineer Ernest C. Brown equips his fellow attorneys to avoid these quagmires by helping them see legal issues within their larger, logistical contexts. He unites the worlds of law, project management and dispute resolution into a single volume that takes lawyers from project inception to completion. This book enables lawyers to win and retain legal work from the contractors who build, the agencies that supervise, and the lenders that fund California infrastructure projects. Among the topics addressed are:

• Project Evaluation
• Project Finance
• Public-Private Partnerships
• California Public Works Statutes
• Insurance and Bonding
• Contractor Licensing Law
• Assessing Damages
• Third Party Claims
• Construction Claims Analysis
• Dispute Resolution, and more

Mr. Brown delivers over 30 years of project counsel experience for such works as the John Wayne Airport, the Honda Pond (Anaheim Ducks), the Sprinter Light Rail Project in San Diego, the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge, and numerous other California super projects. His book serves as a valuable checklist for even the most experienced attorneys, and it gives them a high level view from the client's perspective.
