Law in Practice: The RIBA Legal Handbook

Description

The role of the architect is continually expanding and architects are regularly asked to make difficult decisions with a strong legal element. Law in Practice: The RIBA Legal Handbook should be the first place architects look when they have a practical legal question.

The emphasis is on a very practical approach – recognising that most of the legal watchpoints and pitfalls that an architect might encounter stem from the professional appointment. A valuable section explores a range of clauses that clients commonly wish to insert in the agreement – explaining each in a level-headed way and putting the architect on a safe footing when negotiating. Other sections range from the architect’s role within a construction project to dispute resolution, ensuring a strong, project-focused approach throughout.

The handbook develops themes from basic principles (for the less experienced architect) to a more detailed discussion for readers with significant experience in practice. This is the ideal legal companion to the RIBA Architect’s Job Book and the RIBA Architect’s Handbook of Practice Management.
