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.
