Mickey Beisman has represented State, County and local agencies in, among other projects, road construction and reconstruction; bridge construction and reconstruction; underground transportation construction; seismic reconstruction; building construction; reservoir construction; and prison construction.

She understands the inner workings of government and the public scrutiny to which all public agencies are subject and, for this reason, is sensitive to the political, as well as the legal, ramifications of a dispute.

Having represented a variety of public entities and having been an Assistant General Counsel for the largest public agency in New Mexico, Ms. Beisman offers the following Practical Tips to public owners:

1. KNOW YOUR OWN SPECIFICATIONS;

2. ENFORCE YOUR SPECIFICATIONS CONSISTENTLY; AND

3. ACT AS IF YOUR PROJECT IS GOING TO BE AUDITED TOMORROW.
