Legal Advisory Committee

The Legal Advisory Committee (LAC) is comprised entirely of lawyers, many of which are nationally recognized construction law experts.

The Committee serves as an educational forum on construction law for construction attorneys. They review new cases of interest, proposed new legislation, requests for litigation support and amicus support, and regulations and government practices affecting the construction industry. Because the California Bar recognizes AGC as a Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) provider, MCLE programs are part of regular meetings and the annual Lawyers Legal Retreat. The Committee meets monthly, except in July and August, and alternates between Northern and Southern California.
​
In addition, LAC members contribute Legal Briefs, amicus briefs, and articles for AGC’s magazine, the "California Constructor" and the "Construction Law Manual." Through the Legal Hotline, LAC members provide limited pro bono assistance to contractor members at the outset of legal difficulty. The LAC continually reviews AGC’s standard form documents for legal and statutory accuracy, as well as providing educational forums for AGC members on recent legal developments at District and State meetings. Members of the LAC assess themselves an annual fee (currently $150.00) to help defray the unique costs associated with the LAC, e.g. MCLE programs. Appointment is open only to members of the California Bar and by special appointment of the Chair.
