Client is unhappy with their GC’s pace of work, the GC is still performing, but behind schedule . They want me to take over the job, but the GC has yet to be terminated. What kind of legal risks am I facing from the client AND the GC in this situation?
You should have a full consultation with an experienced construction lawyer to discuss this particular contract and project, but there are a slew of risks to the takeover contractor. At a minimum, a takeover contract must be carefully drafted to allocate duties and responsbilities and shift away risks.
