“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.

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”:
