Jason Lien, attorney in Maslon’s Litigation Practice Group, has authored an article titled, “Forum-Selection Clauses in Construction Agreements: Strategic Considerations in Light of the Supreme Court’s Pending Review of
Atlantic Marine,” in the Summer 2013 issue of
The Construction Lawyer, Journal of the American Bar Association Forum on the Construction Industry. The article provides an in-depth analysis of the issues surrounding the US Supreme Court’s pending decision in
Atlantic Marine, a case involving a dispute over enforcement of the forum-selection clause of a construction project contract. As explained by Jason in the article, his goal is “to provide any construction litigator with a starting point for analyzing a forum-selection clause in a construction contract at the onset of a dispute” and ”prepare any litigator if the playing field for enforcing forum-selection clauses shifts again."
