“Innovative ideas don’t come from thinking the same old way,” added Stephen Phillips. “These panels are offering a different way to learn and engage.  Every roofing contractor should take a few days away from your office and experience a unique, informative, educational event in New York City.”

For forty years, the National Roofing Legal Resource Center (NRLRC), in conjunction with the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), has developed and delivered unique legal products, services and education to enable roofing contractors to successfully manage and respond effectively to the legal issues affecting their business.  Today one of their key events is NRLRC’s Annual Legal Seminar, Roofing Issues: Decks to Dockets.

This year’s NRLRC seminar will take place in the Big Apple on September 18-21, at the New York Hilton Midtown. New York City provides the backdrop to an extraordinary three-day learning experience that offers roofing contractors 13+ hours of in-depth legal, contractual, technical and business information that can’t be found anywhere else. In addition, contractors will discover 5-10 new ideas that can implemented immediately upon their return to the office.
