Construction Build-Out Agreement
A Construction & Build-Out Agreement governs property improvements or fit-outs between owner and contractor. This playbook discusses scheduling, change order processes, and liability for defects.
Liability and Indemnity
Negotiation strategy
Negotiate for indemnity clauses that include carve-outs for gross negligence and willful misconduct. Ensure liability caps are reasonable and reflect the contract's value.
Seek to limit indemnity obligations to direct damages only. Advocate for liability caps that are proportionate to the risk exposure.

Action framework
