Luncheon Meeting: The Art of a Builders Lien

Thursday, April 10, 2014

Presented by Anna Sekunova, Clark Wilson LLP

Builders liens can be a very effective tool for securing unpaid amounts by various participants in the construction industry. Despite their effectiveness, builders liens are very technical and require meticulous compliance with the applicable legislation - the Builders Lien Act. In this session, Anna Sekunova will discuss how to properly deal with builders lien issues, including:

• whether consultants have lien rights;
• how to properly file a lien;
• how to advance or defend a lien claim;
• how liens can be removed; and
• how to deal with claims against holdback funds.

This is your chance for "free" legal advice!
