Understand Virginia’s indemnification laws and learn to spot and modify troublesome provisions.
Indemnification provisions and other risk shifting clauses delineate and shift contracting parties’ liability on a project. Sophisticated owners and contractors spend lots of time and money creating custom tailored contracts that significantly alter the balance of the parties’ risk. If you fail to spot, understand, and modify these clauses before you sign the contract, you may significantly increase your obligations, potential liabilities, and overall risk profile on a particular project. This material will help you understand Virginia’s indemnification laws and will help you spot and modify troublesome risk shifting provisions. This information is critical for anyone who reviews construction contracts so you can modify or avoid those killer contract clauses.
