Change orders and bid protests are inevitable in public works—but how they are handled can make or break your project’s success.

Join us for an engaging, real-world discussion from a professional who has worked on both sides of the issue—as an engineer delivering projects and now as an attorney advising public agencies.

Key takeaways include:

 • Practical lessons learned from real Central Valley projects
