Indemnity Agreements – Why bother taking them and how to take them correctly


Back to Package

During this NASBP Virtual seminar, we are joined by Whit Campbell of The Hartford and Kara London of Philadelphia Insurance Companies for a discussion on Indemnity Agreements. Our presenters will discuss why sureties take indemnity agreements instead of relying on ”Common Law Indemnity”, the different types of indemnity agreements, who has to sign them, how to get released from them, and much more. Both contract and commercial perspectives will be discussed.
