TORRANCE, CA—Partner Engineering and Science has launched its first Construction Lender Risk Management roundtable. The event began last night with a cocktail gala at the JW Marriott in Dessert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, AZ. Industry leaders from across the country, including lenders, lawyers, architects and engineers, will gather at the roundtable to discuss the policies and issues.
