This seminar will explore the surety’s key rights under the industry-standard General Agreement of Indemnity (GAI), as well as the surety’s well-established common law rights, focusing on what bond producers need to know in order to guide their clients through the process. The seminar will include, among other things, a discussion of the execution of indemnity agreements by the bond principal and additional indemnitors; the requirement of personal guaranties from the contractor/bond principal; the posting of security by the contractor / bond principal; events triggering the surety’s rights to indemnity; the scope of the surety’s rights to indemnity; how to work with the surety in a claims situation; the surety’s rights to collateral security and the GAI’s so-called collateral security clause; the surety’s rights under the prima facie evidence clause; the surety’s rights of equitable subrogation; the surety’s duty to investigate claims; the surety’s right to settle claims; and the standards of good faith governing a surety’s actions.
