S. Gregory Joy will be speaking.

With the passage of SB 374 during the 2008 legislative session, Georgia’s lien law statute is changing effective March 31, 2009.

Everyone in the construction industry, from owners and contractors to subcontractors and vendors and industry attorneys need to understand the new requirements to effectively protect their property from liens and/or enforce lien rights going forward.

The following are a few of the revisions to the Georgia Lien Law that will be discussed during the education seminar. 

• Time for Filing a Lien
• New Lien Language
• Lien Filing Procedure Changes
• Time for filing Suit (or "lien action") on the Lien
• Notice to Contractor Procedure Changed
• Affidavits of Non-Payment
• Notice of Contest of Lien
• Lien Discharge Bonds
• New Language for the Interim Waiver and Release Upon Payment and the Waiver and Release Upon Final Payment

Because the law has changed so significantly, it is important that your business is prepared to incorporate these changes into its daily practice.
