Indemnity And Contribution

The law of contribution relates to the payment by each of several people liable their share of what is due; such issues of determining and apportioning liability recur whenever contribution claims are made, ranging from company law to tort and trusts law.

This book systematically examines claims for contribution and reimbursement in an international context. As such claims are often made in third party proceedings, particularly detailed analyses are given to the conflict-of-laws dimensions of third party procedure.

This 50-state survey studies the intersection between general liability insurance and an insured's separate agreement to indemnify.

This resource serves to educate lawyers and business professionals on how to draft the many types of "boilerplate" provisions, a legal term that refers to the standardized, one-size-fits-all provisions of a contract. Each chapter tackles one of 20 provisions and analyzes why it is important, the key legal and business issues raised, and how to draft the provision to suit a particular transaction. Such analysis not only helps readers better understand how to draft these provisions in their contracts, but also helps them better understand the other party's process.
