David W. McArdle, Esq.

Zukowski, Rogers, Flood & McArdle

Crystal Lake Attorney David McArdle of Zukowski, Rogers, Flood & McArdle has authored a handbook titled "Construction Law Road Map," focused on construction law.  The book has been issued and distributed by the Illinois Road and Transportation Builders Association (IRTBA) to its statewide membership.

"Construction Law Road Map" was compiled by McArdle and partners Regan Shepley and Kelly Cahill.  It is a useful guide for general contractors and subcontractors dealing with drafting significant contract clauses, mechanics liens, and employment-related issues on private and public jobs.

An attorney for 25 years, McArdle has been a member of the IRTBA and has provided legal advice to the association for more than 10 years.  In the book's foreword, IRTBA President Kathi Holst wrote, "Small business owners receive basic information that may help them avoid many common problems that may confront them in the business world.  It is truly a 'roadmap' for navigating your own business."

McArdle said the handbook serves as a quick reference to laws and contract issues routinely confronted by contractors.  "We hope contractors will find the handbook useful in determining whether they need to consult a lawyer experienced in the field of construction law before making a move that will cost them money.  Construction law is a complicated field, and it benefits contractors to have a basic education."

The handbook can be ordered through the Zukowski, Rogers, Flood and McArdle website at www.zrfmlaw.com or by calling their Crystal Lake Office at 815-459-2050.
