OBA Construction and Infrastructure Law PROGRAM | 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM

The opportunities that arise for a career in construction law are just as diverse as the tools in your toolbox.

A career in construction law affords the opportunity to practice on your own; in a small or large firm; or in-house, with a wide variety of construction stakeholders to choose from.

Join us for an in-person discussion as panelists from all walks of construction law describe their career path, which will be followed by an opportunity to network with the moderators, panelists and fellow attendees.
