Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaIndemnities are one of the most negotiated clauses in many commercial contracts, however the rationale for their use and their effect is often not well understood. The drafting of each indemnity is critical and the devil is in the detail.
In this session Baker McKenzie Partner, Alex Hartmann and Special Counsel, Caitlin Whale, will step through the key features of contractual indemnities and provide a practical checklist of tips and traps to help draft effective indemnities that properly reflect the risk allocation agreed between commercial parties.
