Baker McKenzie
Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC Australia
Baker McKenzie, together with ACC Australia, are pleased to present the 2025 Commercial Contract Law Series - a must-attend program designed exclusively for in-house counsel.
Each session in this series will dive deep into a key area of commercial contracting, offering practical insights and legal updates to help you stay ahead in a fast-evolving landscape.
Negotiating and Drafting Effective Indemnities
Indemnities are one of the most negotiated clauses in many commercial contracts, however the rationale for their use and their effect is often not well understood. The drafting of each indemnity is critical and the devil is in the detail.
In this session, Partners Emanuel Confos and Caitlin Whale will step through the key features of contractual indemnities and provide a practical checklist of tips and traps to help draft effective indemnities that properly reflect the risk allocation agreed between commercial parties.
Please note the Zoom link you receive should not be shared with others, it is unique to you.
We look forward to seeing you there!
