The
Real Estate Section is seeking members to join its recently-formed Development
and Construction Law (DCL) practice group. The DCL practice group brings
together attorneys from across the state, from both the public and private
sectors, who represent or deal with developers, public and private owners,
contractors, financing institutions, design professionals and others involved
with development and construction.
The DCL practice
group intends to periodically focus on public and private projects in Eastern,
Central and Western Massachusetts which are of interest to both the legal
community, as well as the general public.
Join
us at our first western Massachusetts
open meeting with our guest speaker, Barbara DeSouza Esq., Assistant
Attorney General of the Fair Labor Division of the Massachusetts Attorney
General’s Office. DeSouza is responsible for, among other things, prevailing
wage compliance.
This
seminar will provide attorneys with current information concerning various
issues regarding Massachusetts prevailing wage law,
including:
•
What is prevailing wage work?
•
Current prevailing wage requirements
•
Prevailing wage violations
•
Enforcement options of the Attorney General’s Office — Civil Citations/Criminal
Prosecution
At
the conclusion of the meeting, there will be a brief discussion to address, in
greater detail, the DCL group’s agenda and focus, including its educational,
legislative and legal publication efforts over the coming
year.
