Special Presentation on Antitrust Issues

AIA Phoenix Metro - Small Firm Roundtable - and AIA10 (formerly YAF) presents

Have you violated Antitrust Laws? ... Would you know if you had?

"The past isn't dead. It isn't even past." - William Faulkner

Allegations of illegal behavior, federal investigations, a decision by U.S. District Judge John Sirica (of Watergate fame), and a judicial consent decree that brought the American Institute of Architects under Justice Department oversight for 10 years - all of these were a part of the AIA's often tumultuous antitrust history during the last century. But these events continue to speak to us today, as architects confront questions critical to the profession. What do we do about fees, and why can't we talk about them? How do we understand competitions that cost thousands but may pay nothing? Is it unethical for one architect to take work away from another?

Jay Stephens, the AIA's general counsel since 2000, will be joining us for a conversation about all these questions and much more. This is an event you won't want to miss. Parking will be validated for the City Hall garage on the southwest corner of 3rd Avenue and Washington or is available at meters in the area.

AIA Members will earn 1 CEU. Lunch will be served. $10 per person Fee waived for AIA members. Please RSVP to Diana@aia-arizona.org or 602-252-4200.
