zlien's Updated System to Help Mississippi Contractors Comply with New Mechanics Lien Laws

NEW ORLEANS - April 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Mechanics lien law has changed in Mississippi giving subcontractors and suppliers full lien rights. This has prompted zlien to update their software platform, helping Mississippi subcontractors and suppliers comply with the new laws. zlien’s software platform was developed to reduce credit risk and default receivables for contractors and suppliers empowering them to utilize mechanics lien and bond claim compliance. The software model will now give Mississippi subcontractors and suppliers the appropriate tools to ensure payment on every project.

zlien’s updated program operates through three levels of membership: Basic, Pro, and Premium. For $39 a month, members of the Basic program can utilize deadline tracking and unlimited notices for 3 new projects each month in addition to 10% off standard lien pricing. For $129 a month, members of the Pro program are empowered to use deadline tracking and unlimited notices for 10 new projects each month with a 15% discount off standard lien pricing. Premium members receive deadline tracking, unlimited notices and 20% off standard lien pricing for $199 a month. There is no charge for postage on notices and Lien Waivers in addition to various levels of customer support are provided depending on level of memebership. Subcontractors and suppliers in Mississippi can use zlien's new pricing to leverage the recent mechanics lien law updates and get paid on projects.

“We have been keeping an eye on the tumultuous state of mechanics lien law in Mississippi for the past 6 months” said zlien’s Chief Legal Officer and Editorial Director of The Lien & Credit Journal, Nate Budde. “The final amendments here are a radical but welcomed reinvention of the entire statutory scheme to offer protection to lower tiered parties such as subs, suppliers, architects, and even engineers and land surveyors. The platform will work in accordance with the new laws to help Mississippi contractors get paid on every project.”

zlien aims to aid in making the legal changes an easy transition for Mississippi construction project participants not only through the use of their platform, but also access to free resources and white papers. In addition to a series of relevant articles published in The Lien & Credit Journal, zlien is also offering free webinars on how the changes will affect project participants as well as a comprehensive ebook which provides a step-by-step guide for preserving and enforcing mechanics lien rights in Mississippi.

“We pride ourselves on legal integrity and keeping up-to-date on mechanics lien statutes” says Budde of the recent changes. “Providing Mississippi project participants with a software platform specifically designed to preserve lien rights and ensure payment is only part of what we do – the flip side is maintaining our position as resource leaders in the industry so that when laws do change, contractors know their rights.”

Budde is a licensed attorney in Louisiana, and a graduate of Stanford University (B.A.) and Tulane Law School (J.D.). He is a contributing writer and the Editorial Director of The Lien & Credit Journal in addition to being published in Independent Electrical Contractor’s MultiBriefs and Construction Executive’s Risk Management.
