Risk management is a very important piece of running a design firm. There are many risks that architects/engineers take daily, it’s good to know what those risks are and how to manage them. There are many resources available that are free to your firm.
Our agency provides two risk management seminars a year. One is in Michigan and is available to all insured’s virtually, this is typically in the spring. The other is in Colorado and again available to all virtually and it is in the fall. We also keep recordings of past risk management seminars on our website, please refer to the seminar section of our website.
