New York Partner Virginia Trunkes delivered a presentation entitled "Data, Data, and More Data: The Implications of Big Data on Construction Claims" at the American Bar Association's Forum on Construction Law 2023 Annual Meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia on April 13.
Joined by a claims consultant and forensic engineer, Ms. Trunkes showcased standard construction provisions through the lens of what language outside consultants would have preferred the construction agreement contain to enable them to access relevant construction project data. The presenters explored different types of project data, the impact of missing data, contract-drafting strategies for ensuring that better data is generated and maintained, and types of relevant data corresponding with common contract provisions invoked in a construction dispute.
The American Bar Association's Forum on Construction Law was designed to bring together exceptional speakers to present on the future of construction law, contracting, big data, employment matters, and trends in the construction industry.
Ms. Trunkes represents property owners, as well as construction managers, contractors and subcontractors, in negotiating their construction and design services contracts and adjacent-owner access license agreements. With more than two decades of experience handling complex business litigation and appellate practice, she counsels her clients to appreciate, navigate and overcome the obstacles inherent in construction projects and their impact on the parties’ legal positions.
