Baker Law Gains Dual Influence on Key AIA Construction Contract Updates

Baker Law Group adds a second liaison to the AIA Contract Documents Committee, strengthening its role in shaping the 2027 update to key construction industry standard contracts.

This news matters because AIA contract documents are the backbone of the U.S. design and construction industry, governing risk, payment, and responsibilities on millions of projects. The committee's updates directly affect project costs, timelines, and legal liabilities for everyone involved—from architects and contractors to property owners and developers. Having two practitioners from a single firm in liaison roles means real-world legal and project issues from active construction sites will have a stronger voice in shaping the 2027 standards. This could lead to more practical, balanced contracts that reduce disputes and keep projects on track, ultimately impacting the affordability, efficiency, and legal clarity of future buildings and infrastructure.
