Construction Law News
Our Newsletters
For over 10 years, our clients and friends have been receiving and enjoying the print edition of our newsletter, "Plumb Law". The legal information is straight, or plumb, and we know it is appreciated.
We have added "Plum Law On-Line" to our publication schedule, and expect that most future editions of Plumb Law will be in that format. If you would like to receive them, please sign up. Some earlier print editions are linked, below.
Bond Law: Special Edition
Payment bonds, performance bonds and bid bonds follow legal rules which are surprising different than the ones which contractors must typically follow. This contractor-oriented issue helps you pragmatically navigate through this thicket of overlapping subjects which can cost you your claims and lose you your rights."Dirty Contract Words"
Construction contracts can be so hard to read that their perils are often ignored for the sake of getting some work. The lead article gives you "dirty contract words" which are often used in contracts to mark where the ugly stuff is hidden. New case summaries and news about a public bidding database are also reviewed. Plumb Law 62.Construction Lien Law Revisions
Effective 2011, New Jersey modified a whole host of rights involving mechanics liens for its private construction projects, and in the process, the construction industry lost some of the gains it had previously made. Learn more about the practical effect the changes had on you in this special edition. Plumb Law Issue 61.
"Contractors Beware...Here's Where"
"Contractors Beware...Here's Where": Construction law strictly enforces a lot of tough contract terms, and some of the particularly dangerous ones are covered here. Also, we summarize major changes to New Jersey's new construction law statutes for 2010. Plumb Law Issue 60
"Press 'em for Payment."
Times are tough, so stalling has become an art form. Here are typical "legal" excuses which are used to delay a payment and what you can do to respond to them.

The Prompt Payment Act
A special issue dedicated to New Jersey's new Prompt Payment Act, it lays out all the basics, provides a table to compare the three different New Jersey "prompt payment" laws, and has a bonus article on the Federal Prompt Payment Act. Plumb Law Issue 55
