SAVE THE DATE: Building Information Modeling (BIM): Identifying the Risks and Liabilities

Date: February 29th Time: Reg/Breakfast - 7:15 - 8 a.m. Program - 8 - 9 a.m. Place: Goodwin Procter 53 State St., Boston, MA Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of generating an accurate digital representation of a project that allows the development team (architects, engineers, builders and owners) to deliver highly integrated design and construction solutions. BIM facilitates a highly collaborative process and it is being promoted as a solution to reduce inefficiencies in building design and construction. There are many unanswered questions surrounding this technology, including: * Does the joint sharing of data that is so integral to BIM create liability among project participants? * Who is responsible for the final work product? * Who owns and who has the rights to the intellectual property and the final design? Join us when a panel of BIM users are joined by law and insurance experts to discuss the legal and practical considerations of using BIM. Panelists: Michael Herlihy Executive Vice President/Partner Ames & Gough Insurance Agency, Inc. John Sullivan Project Designer Spagnolo Gisness & Associates, Inc. John Tocci Chief Executive Officer Tocci Building Corporation Bruce Tribush Partner Goodwin Procter LLP
