Welcome to The Dallas Bar Association Construction Law Section website. We focus on a broad
range of legal and industry issues that arise in the context of public and private construction projects.
We provide an excellent opportunity for continuing education and a forum for discussing and
answering questions on construction law issues of all types. The Section hosts luncheons for
its members on the first Thursday of every month at The Belo Mansion beginning at noon. Guests
are welcome to join us to see what the Section is all about. Through luncheon seminars and its
newsletter, the Section aims to keep its members abreast of developments and trends in
construction law. The Section actively encourages its members to participate in pro bono projects
which involve construction issues.
If you would like to be a gueest at our next luncheon, or if you would like information on joining the Section, please contact our Chair, Jeff Brannen, 972-888-3009 or jbrannen@balfourbeattyus.com.

REMINDER
This section will have its June monthly meeting on Thursday, June 7, 2012. The speaker will be Andrew M. Gould of Wick, Philip, Gould & Martin. Mr. Gould will be presenting a speech entitled "Drafting, Enforcing and Challenging Non-Compete Agreements In Light of Light's Demise The New Face of Post-Employment Non-Competition Agreements in Texas." On June 24, 2011, the Texas Supreme Court wrote the next chapter regarding non-compete agreements in Texas. That case, Marsh USA Inc. and Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. v. Cook, appears to end various challenges practitioners faced since 1994 when the Court issued its opinion in Light v. Centel Cellular Co. of Texas. This presentation will discuss Marsh, its meaning and significance, and various strategies businesses are employing regarding non-competition agreements (and other restrictive covenants) in the post-Light era.
