Mechanics Liens CLE

Mechanic’s liens are a powerful tool in New York to secure monies due to contractors and subcontractors who provide labor and materials to improve real property. This course will provide an exhaustive discourse on the use of mechanic’s liens on both public and private investments, as well as the steps that owners may take to respond to the liens. Brian J. Markowitz will begin by discussion general principles of the Lien Law, and will proceed with an examination of work covered, lienable property, enforcement and defense, and other items of importance. He will conclude by addressing trust funds and foreclosure proceedings.
