When dealing with construction contracts on private construction projects, pursuant to GBL Section 757, any contractual provision that attempts to make the contract subject to the laws of any state other than New York, or that requires litigation or arbitration in another state, is void an unenforceable. Note that this does not apply to material suppliers.
