PSA: I was wrong about boilerplate contract language for years
For the first 5 years of my practice, I always fought to change every standard indemnification clause in vendor agreements, thinking I was protecting my clients. Then last month a senior partner showed me how the broad language actually saved us $120k in a dispute because the other side's negligence fell squarely under their duty to defend. How do you decide which boilerplate provisions are worth battling over and which ones to leave alone?
