When a clause needs a lawyer

Built

Some clauses are legal questions. Evan flags them and does not pretend otherwise.

  • Flagged from the heading alone: indemnities, liability caps, IP assignment, data protection, governing law, warranties, insurance, some confidentiality clauses, termination for cause.
  • Evan still gives his commercial view. What the clause does, what is normal, what to ask for.
  • He will not say whether it is enforceable or whether you are on the right side of the law. That is the lawyer's question.
  • The negotiation carries on while a lawyer is reading. Payment terms do not wait for the indemnity.
