Explaining Louisiana Lien Law at AllBusiness.Com

AllBusiness.com, an online media and e-commerce company that operates one of the premier business sites on the Web, is a great tool for contractors.   They self-proclaim to help business professionals save time and money by addressing real-world business questions and presenting practical solutions.

As one of its resources, the website has re-published an article written by Lloyd N. Shields, one of New Orleans’ premiere construction attorneys.   The article, titled Mechanics Liens and Construction Bonds under Louisiana Law, offers a good discussion of Louisiana’s sometimes peculiar lien laws.

When doing work in a particular state – like Louisiana – it never hurts to spend time reviewing the overall lien laws in your area.   Understanding and following lien laws is important for your company to avoid bad collection situations, and is increasingly important in this penny-pinching economy.

It would be a prudent start to the new year to spend some time getting familiar with the lien laws in Louisiana.  You can read some basic information about Louisiana lien laws at the Construction Lien Blog here.   The allbusiness.com article is also a good resource.
