“DEFINING A WIN IN LITIGATION” BY FRANK RAMOS, GUEST AUTHOR PRECOCIOUS LIFE©

The following statement may come as a surprise from a trial lawyer but I hate lawsuits. Corporate America asks our firm to represent them when they are sued in commercial, employment, and personal injury matters. Some cases have merit. Some don’t. But as a whole and after all considered I find them terribly ineffective to resolve disputes. They are time-consuming. They are expensive. They are confrontational. Personalities and egos get in the way. Misunderstandings devolve into nasty e-mails and even a nastier motion practice. I’m a cost center to my clients. I don’t make them money. I only cost them money.

So What’s the Answer? Is there an Alternative?

Short Answer – Yes, there is but first let’s go back and start at the beginning. Continue reading ““DEFINING A WIN IN LITIGATION” BY FRANK RAMOS, GUEST AUTHOR PRECOCIOUS LIFE©”

Indemnification Clauses – What are they? Well, here is a standard “IC” Clause you might expect to see in any variety of contracts;

“Seller; Agrees to indemnify, compensate Buyer for all expenses and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses and/or expenses including Attorney’s fees made suffered and/or incurred by any person, entity, governmental body (Yawn) not a party to this agreement and asserted against Buyer or its associates, employees or agents, warranty or covenant or the performance or non-performance of Buyer’s obligations under this contract”:

Looks Pretty Good Right? Let’s Look again and take this Language to its Logical conclusion.

You Buy a product, you use it, it is defective and you are sued for the use of this. What do you do next? You are covered, right? Isn’t the Seller supposed to indemnify you?

CYBER WARFARE – IS THIS THE NEW CORPORATE TERRORISM? ©

 

If you like what you are about to read please be sure to leave a comment below.

In this new age of “tech-savvy hyperbole expressionism, we seem to have a definition for just about everything but to come to terms with a universal “truist” definition of Terrorism the task is not so easy. Scholars struggle with this concept and so do we.  There are various definitions that exist across the multi-layered international and research communities.
