Are you ready to enhance your legal expertise in construction contracts and claims management?

CFMA’s Construction Contracts & Claims Management Legal Certificate Program is designed as a five-module advanced certificate of completion program to specifically address the contract and legal nuances of the construction industry for CFPs.

CFMA’s Construction Contracts & Claims Management Legal Certificate Program — which started on February 4, 2025, and is scheduled on five consecutive Tuesdays from 3-5 PM ET (12-2 PM PT), concluding on March 4 — is anchored in case studies and will be presented by leading industry professionals and delivered through live, online modules with interactive exercises that will require participation. A private online discussion community will provide you with the opportunity to share thoughts and engage with participants throughout the program.

The five modules in this advanced certificate program are:

• Defining Scope of Work & Payment Terms (February 4, 2025)
• Navigating Changes & Unforeseen Conditions (February 11, 2025)
• Time Is Money: Strategically Manage Delays & Schedule Interruptions (February 18, 2025)
• Implementing Legal Remedies & Successful Dispute Resolutions (February 25, 2025)
• Cover Your Bases: Insurance, Bonds & Indemnification (March 4, 2025)

Each module will unpack a unique case study and will require your participation via live roundtable discussions, group assignments, and communication forums. You will receive a case study to read and review prior to each live session.

The Contracts & Claims Management Legal Certificate Program will conclude with a final activity in which you will be required to submit a one-page summary demonstrating knowledge learned. Upon successful completion of the program requirements, you will receive a certificate of completion in the form of a digital badge in addition to earning 10 CPE credits in Business Law.
