Steven M. Charney, a co-managing partner of the law firm Peckar & Abramson, P.C., is one of the principal drafters of the ConsensusDOCS Green Building Addendum, published in November 2009. He was generous enough to give us his comments on the risks faced by design firms and contractors on projects that emphasize efficient energy and sustainability, as well as the ways the addendum assists in the management of those risks. You can read some of his thoughts below, and read the whole interview in our last Constructive Comments and in the next issue of Guidelines for Improving Practice.
