Open to view video.  |  60 minutes For anyone who provides labor or materials on Georgia construction projects, Georgia’s two-step procedure for pre-lien notices and then two-step procedure for lien waivers lien can trip up even experienced credit teams. To protect your rights, it’s essential to understand how the Notice of Commencement triggers the obligation to send a Notice to Contractor. And when payment is being offered in exchange for a Lien Waiver, you need to know what waivers are valid, and what do to if you don’t see the payment. In each of these two-step procedures, missing the critical window for action can mean forfeiting your lien rights. In this webinar, Beau Hays, attorney at Hays & Potter, LLP, will walk us through examples of how the notice process works, who must receive it, and how to avoid common missteps and assumed exemptions, then review lien waivers and affidavits of non-payment. Stay compliant and protect your receivables with confidence in the Peach State.
