Live Replay: Indemnification & Hold Harmless Agreements in Business & Real Estate
Program Description:
Transactional agreements in business and real estate - buy-sell agreements, leases, and more - are extended exercises in identifying and allocating risks. Indemnification and hold harmless agreements are among the most important tools for allocating that risk. The indemnitor agrees to “make whole” the indemnitee on the occurrence of certain claims or liabilities, or the imposition of damages. The seller agrees to indemnify the buyer from certain risks that may arise after the sale closes. Or a commercial real estate lessee may agree to hold the lessor harmless from damages arising from its use or even the use of third parties. Defining the scope of the indemnity, understanding the limits of what the law will allow, and ensuring cost-effective claims by the indemnitee against the indemnitor are essential to the success of these agreements. This program will provide you with a practical guide to drafting indemnification and hold harmless agreements, enhancing enforceability and avoiding traps.
