Contractual Risk Allocation: Using Warranties, Exclusions, Indemnities and Insurance Provisions to Mitigate and Manage Risk David Downie

Every commercial transaction involves risk. Negotiating the terms of a contract that gives effect to a transaction provides an opportunity to transfer that risk to someone else through the use of common drafting mechanisms including warranties, indemnities, exclusion clauses and insurance clauses. This book provides a practical guide to approaching these clauses so as to ensure your interests are best protected. The importance of each clause is highlighted along with helpful tips drawn from the long experience of the authors in drafting, negotiating and interpreting commercial contracts in their everyday practice.
