I was recently asked to write an article for the Colorado Builder Forum, the Journal of the Colorado Association of Home Builders.  Being an attorney that has devoted my career to defending Colorado homebuilders involved in construction defect lawsuits, the topic I chose was naturally strategies for minimizing the risks associated with building in Colorado and how to avoid construction defect litigation.  This article is now available online, and can be found here.
