Our guest for this week's episode, Margery Newman is an income member at Bryce Downey & Lenkov. Her practice encompasses construction mediation, arbitration and litigation in both the private and public sectors, and related business litigation. Her clients include owners, general contractors, subcontractors, specialty trade contractors and disadvantaged business enterprises.

Margery counsels clients on drafting and negotiating construction contracts—including dangerous subcontractor clauses—mechanics' lien claims and foreclosure actions, construction defects, MBE, WBE and DBE certification and compliance. She has been recognized by Chambers USA, Super Lawyers and Leading Lawyers for her work in construction law.

In today's episode, we sit down and go over some of the dangerous subcontractor clauses, however, as we talked about in our previous episode, they are favorable if you're the prime and they are only dangerous if you're the sub.

We also got into some interesting topics because she had done seminars and presentations on post-Covid 19 construction contract clauses, implicit bias and its impact on diversity, construction industry, returning to work issues following covid and much much more.
