This webinar kicks off our construction-credit lien series with a clear, practical tour through the essential purpose and power of mechanic’s liens. Participants will learn when liens apply, why they matter, and how they function as a critical safeguard for securing payment in the construction industry.
We’ll break down key terminology, basic notice requirements, common pitfalls to avoid, and the typical lifecycle of a lien from preliminary steps to enforcement. Whether you’re new to construction credit or looking to refresh your knowledge, this webinar will ground you in the core concepts you need to confidently navigate lien rights across project types and jurisdictions.
