The Topic:
We are pleased to bring one of Maine’s experts on construction contract and
claim issues to our May meeting to discuss how financial professionals can help
win and defend claims. Proving claims depends on orderly and clear financial
history before, during and after construction projects. Mr. Burns will discuss how
we can maintain an “evidence-worthy” paper trail without paralyzing our firms
with paper as well as what pieces of financial information are important and how
best to keep record of them.
About the
Speaker:
George Burns was born in Boston, Massachusetts, raised in Maine,
and admitted to practice in New York in 1973
and in Maine
in 1978. After practicing commercial, corporate, and securities law with Nixon,
Hargrave, Devans & Doyle (now Nixon Peabody) in Rochester,
New York, he moved back to Maine. In 1980, George and another partner
started the law firm Burns, Ray, DeLano,
Macdonald, which later merged with Bernstein Shur. George's concentration is on
litigation and arbitration of commercial and construction disputes. He is a
member of the firm’s Construction and Litigation Practice Groups, and its Dispute
Resolution Group. For over twenty years, he has assisted clients in the forest
products industry, and represents several trade associations devoted to that
industry, including the Northeastern Retail Lumber Association, the
Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association, and the Maine National Building
Materials and Dealers Association. George's trial and appellate experience has
been wide-ranging, and has included (in addition to construction cases) partnership
and similar fiduciary duty disputes, insurance coverage issues, antitrust and
securities claims, and asbestos litigation.
