???Happy St. Patrick's Day!??? As we celebrate today with a bit of luck, let's talk about something that’s?key?to ensuring your NC construction business doesn't miss out on some crucial protections –?Mechanics Liens. For those in the construction industry, keeping track of important dates can be the difference between getting paid and losing out on your lien rights. So, let’s make sure you’re on the right path to securing your business, just like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Here are the?key dates?to track for?Mechanics Liens: ?? Date labor/materials were first supplied?– This establishes the start of your lien rights. ?? Last date labor/materials were supplied?– Critical in determining your final deadline. ?? 120 days from the last date labor/materials were supplied?– This is typically the deadline for filing your lien. Missing this can cost you your lien rights! ?? 180 days from the last date labor/materials were supplied?– This is often the absolute last day you can file a lawsuit to enforce your lien. ?? Why are these dates so important? In North Carolina, you must file your mechanics lien within?120 days?of the last date labor or materials were provided. Also, you most file your lawsuit to enforce the lien within 180 of the last day that materials or labor were supplied. If you miss either of these deadlines, you risk losing your right to secure payment for work completed. It’s like missing the last call for a St. Patrick’s Day toast – it’s gone, and so is your opportunity! ?? Keep your records sharp and stay on top of these deadlines. Protect your business like you would protect your lucky charm!

?? The Hidden Risk That Could Derail Your Next Development Labor? ? Materials? ? Permits? ? Market demand? ? You’ve planned for all the usual risks in your next residential development—but have you checked if buyers can?actually get homeowner’s insurance? With insurers pulling out of high-risk areas due to rising claims from natural disasters, some developers are discovering TOO LATE that their completed homes are effectively?unsellable. No insurance = No mortgage = No sale. Before you break ground, make sure you’re not walking into a financial disaster. Here’s what every contractor and developer?must?know:

Hopefully you won't ever need to discover "Discovery," but if and when you do, having some familiarity ahead of time can relieve at least a little of your stress. If your business IS facing litigation -- on either side of the argument -- one of the most important phases of a lawsuit is discovery. While it may sound mysterious, DISCOVERY is simply the formal process where both parties exchange information and evidence relevant to the case. It’s a critical part of building a solid legal argument... Have questions about the process? Need a legal team that listens, and is ready to act with your best interests in mind? We're here to help.
