If you are a prime contractor, subcontractor, or supplier on a federal construction project, you NEED to understand the Miller Act and know what your rights are. This includes preserving your rights to payment against the Miller Act payment bond and defending, in the case of the prime contractor, any claim that may be asserted against the bond.

This CLE course will explain how the Miller Act preserves your rights to payment under its bond and how to defend that right, particularly against claims made against the bond. The course will review the language of the act, claimants, final furnishing, subs in privity with prime contractor and sub-suppliers who are not, releases and the statute of limitation that applies.
