Description

CSI MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL NOVEMBER 2019 PROGRAM
Understanding the Fiduciary Duty of the Design Professional Practice and the Important Role of Specifications

This program will be registered with AIA CES for HSW and LU credit. Pending AIA approval, credits may be granted for attendance. Sign in at the meeting with your AIA number in order to receive credit.
Monday, November 4, 2019
11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

This program provides a review of the current state of the fiduciary duty of all licensed architects to their clients based in both statutory language and substantive law. The coming of the fiduciary duty is both a great opportunity and the source of great anxiety for licensed design professionals, but a full understanding will help to set the stage for a properly calibrated response in both the underlying processes of architectural practice as well as provide an appropriate bases for risk management going forward. The fiduciary duty is not based either in contract or tort and thus poses special problems in legal procedures and risk management options. At the same time, those firms ready to embrace this coming fiduciary duty regime will obtain significant advantages in the marketplace for fees and trust from owners.
