If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times: lien laws are a contractor or supplier’s secret weapon. The trouble is that utilizing the law can be complex and hyper-technical.
There are a million materials out in the web-o-sphere to help those in the construction industry better understand the lien laws in their state. Zlien offers some of these materials on its Lien Law Punchlist and Forms page (it’s free, by the way).
Ellen Rapport Tanowitz, a Massachusetts attorney, published a quick mechanics lien article on her Nine Points of Law Blog. The post answers some basic (but commonly misunderstood) questions about liens and the lien process.
The author promises us a few additional articles more closely examining the Massachusetts lien law landscape, which is good reason for Massachusetts contractors, subcontractors and suppliers to keep an eye on that feed. Take a look at the overview article referenced herein by vising the Nine Points of Law Blog.
