Introduction

Course overview

Liability, indemnity and insurance clauses decide who bears the cost when things go wrong: when people are injured, property is damaged, data is lost, intellectual property is infringed or a project fails. They are among the most heavily negotiated provisions in commercial contracts, yet many professionals find them difficult to understand and assess.

This Indemnities, Liability and Insurance Clauses in Contracts training course explains these provisions in clear, practical terms. Participants learn how indemnities work, how limitation and exclusion clauses are drafted and interpreted, the meaning of consequential loss, the relationship between liability and insurance, common insurance types and requirements, and how to negotiate balanced risk allocation.

The course enables contract professionals to review risk clauses with confidence and to work effectively with legal and insurance advisers.
