Participants will have a better understanding of the roles of various parties to a project in determining and achieving ADA compliance; learn to consider the dissemination of information during a project and the decision making process that flows from that; evaluate contractual allocations of this responsibility and review recent court decisions that underscore the importance of this project.

She is highly regarded for her seminars on the subject of risk management, which she conducts across the country. Jean has also successfully argued three matters before the Nevada Supreme Court. The first involved Nevada's adoption of the economic loss doctrine. The second involved Nevada's strict enforcement of the certificate of merit statute protecting design professionals. The third involved Nevada's adoption of the doctrine obstacle preemption, which bars owners' claims for indemnity for ADA and FHA violations.
