Michaelbrent Collings worked as a Los Angeles attorney for nearly a decade, focusing almost exclusively on construction contract disputes - from bid dispute to mediation to trial to appeal - and now goes over some of the basics of California construction law. He focuses extra attention on some of the gotchas that can trip up even an experienced contractor. A great read for anyone who is new to California construction, for seasoned contractors, and for lawyers in the field. Written humorously and with an eye toward being enjoyable as well as informative, this low-key look at contracting will help anyone in the California construction industry avoid mistakes, instigate good business practices, and (hopefully) make some money.
