Today’s Contract Caution: Dark Secret-Beware of who pays for Attorney’s Fees and Courts Costs in contracts. This clause is often weaponized by attorneys to beat the opposing party into submission because attorney’s fees often EXCEED the actual damages claimed by the party suing you. IF you believe you may be a defendant in a contract it is best just to scratch through this clause in a contract.

Today’s Contract Caution: Indemnification – essentially means you will pay the damages and cover the costs (attorney’s fees plus) of someone else’s lawsuit. They are shifting as much liability to you as they can. It is good to have an indemnification clause in your favor and bad if it is against you and perhaps ok if it is mutual.
