ABA Forum on Construction Law Celebrates 50 Years

 

Gathering of many national Chairs of the Forum on Construction Law, May 2026

On May 6-9, 2026, in Chicago, IL, the ABA Forum on Construction Law celebrated its 50-year history, its legacy as the largest and preeminent association of construction lawyers on the planet (literally), and its ongoing benefit to the profession. Kristine Kubes is one of only seven women elected to serve as the National Chair of the Forum in its 50-year history, and the first and only solo practitioner to hold that office in the Forum’s history. Kristine was asked to speak at the program, along with her colleague Arlan Lewis, about their insights on leadership from the last decade in the Forum.
