Hosted by David Suchar, featuring Keith Bergeron and Matthew C. Ryan

Allensworth partner Matthew C. Ryan recently joined the American Bar Association Forum on Construction Law’s Construction Law Today podcast, alongside host David Suchar and fellow guest Keith Bergeron, for a discussion on the doctrine of betterment in construction. The episode explores how courts address disputes when corrective work leaves an owner in a better position than originally bargained for, and examines the impact of betterment on damages, liability, and claim strategy. Drawing on real-world examples, the conversation offers insight into what this important doctrine means for owners, designers, and contractors alike.
