Legal issues are a fact of life in today's roofing industry, and you need to make the most of every resource available. Compliance with regulations, dealing with roof consultants, litigation, and product claims and disputes are all a part of a roofing contractor's daily business. The legal resource center is specifically tailored to roofing contractors' needs.

When you join NRLRC by March 31, you will receive these member benefits and save $50 on dues:
  • Free access to expert legal help valued at more than $800. Receive answers from NRLRC's counsel to help address some of your toughest legal, business, and employment issues and problems. Submit your questions via NRLRC's Legal Help Line located online at www.nrlrc.net or by calling NRLRC at (847) 299-9092.

  • Access to the Members Only section of NRLRC's Web site, www.nrlrc.net, which includes the NRLRC Legal Database. This comprehensive database contains more than 300 legal articles, cases, special reports, past seminar handouts and access to significant roofing-related court decisions to help you save time and attorney fees. You also can find state business licensing information and statutes of limitations, as well as informative health and safety, technical and business-related articles.

  • Key contract provisions. Effective contracts focus on the key elements—such as the payment terms; the various obligations of the parties, representation and warranties; conditions to closing the deal; liability issues; remedies; and termination rights. Only NRLRC members receive a NRLRC Contract Provisions booklet (a $375 value) containing 26 valuable contract provisions and one free new contract provision each month.

  • Discounted registration fees to NRLRC's 31st annual educational seminar, Roofing Issues: Decks to Dockets, held Nov. 4-6, in San Antonio, Texas. Attendees gain an appreciation of current legal and regulatory developments affecting their business, and many participants consider it a "must-attend event."

  • Immigration Compliance Package. Addressing six key topics about immigration compliance such as I-9 Requirements and E-Verify, this valuable resource explains even the most difficult topics. Also included are frequently asked questions answered with detailed explanations by seasoned attorneys.

  • Monthly legal guides. Each edition of Sidebar addresses situations such as what to do if you want to work in another state; what to look for and what to look out for in an indemnification provision you are asked to sign; what to do if you don't receive a monthly progress payment; and what to do if you make a bid mistake. You will receive one free legal guide—valued at $50 each—per month.

  • A subscription to NRLRC's monthly E-newsletter, The Legal Center. This informative resource keeps you and your business up-to-date with the most recent legal issues and trends affecting roofing contractors.

  • A copy of OSHA Citation Defense Manual, a comprehensive resource valued at $595. You will become more familiar with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) procedures, practices and terms and be better prepared to handle OSHA inspections and respond to citations.

  • A complimentary ticket to NRLRC's annual breakfast. Held Sunday, Feb. 21, 2010, in New Orleans during the 2010 International Roofing Expo, this program—valued at $100—gives you an overview of the most prevalent legal and technical issues affecting roofing contractors and their businesses.

  • Complimentary copies of the following NRLRC-produced publications:
