By on November 18, 2017 in Commercial, Contracts, Insurance

The effective management of indemnification and related insurance obligations is an active agenda item for top-level business leaders, including any CFO, CEO and general counsel, points out James Buldas in an article on the website of Business Insurance.

“It is, therefore, imperative, whether you are a Fortune 500 company or a small business, that your company’s risk management and legal departments strategically manage indemnification and insurance obligations to minimize the always increasing cost-of-business demands,” writes Buldas, a partner at Pietragallo Gordon Alfano Bosick & Raspanti L.L.P. in Pittsburgh.

His article covers the language of the indemnity agreeement, selecting the governing law, specificity in insurance obligations, requesting the appropriate additional insured endorsement, and communication between legal and risk management departments and brokers.
