In the construction industry, late payments and unpaid invoices are more common than they should be. This insightful webinar offers a practical, plain-language guide to understanding and improving debt recovery under construction contracts, with a focus on prevention, entitlement, and resolution.

Led by experienced practitioner John Hayes, the session explores the full lifecycle of debt issues, from contract setup and entitlement notices to claim preparation, negotiation strategies, and finally, formal legal options like adjudication or winding-up petitions.
