Subcontracting Agreement
A Subcontracting Agreement defines obligations between a primary contractor and subcontractor for project execution. This playbook examines flow-down provisions, performance guarantees, and dispute management.
Indemnification and Liability
Negotiation strategy
Ensure mutual indemnification to cover third-party claims and limit liability to direct damages. Verify that insurance coverage is adequate and certificates are provided.
Negotiate for a cap on liabilities that aligns with the financial exposure limits. Ensure exclusions for gross negligence and confidentiality breaches are included.
