Contract Review
Without aligning your contract language to your insurance policy wording, you may be negating certain coverages or agreeing to items that are uninsured or uninsurable. Corporate Protection Group provides a clear framework for effective contractual risk transfer. Once this framework is implemented, we provide ongoing assurance that your third-party contractors maintain adequate coverage throughout the duration of their contract term.
Scope of Work
- Development of third-party insurance requirements
- Contract review and risk transfer analysis
- Identification of uninsured exposures and obligations
- Third-party certificate tracking
- Ongoing review and compliance monitoring
Case Study
Background: Our client was completing significant capital improvements to one of their properties and had hired a general contractor to manage the project. While their attorney was involved in negotiating and executing the contract, Corporate Protection Group was engaged to review insurance related exposures. Upon review of the draft contract, our team had identified that there were insufficient insurance requirements placed on the general contractor, where many of the obligations were left uninsured. Furthermore, after reviewing their insurance policy, it was found that there was a complete exclusion for “completed work”.
Solution: Our team worked with the client, legal counsel, and the general contractor to negotiate the insurance terms within the agreement. The general contractor was unaware of their coverage exclusion and had elected to change insurance brokers to procure better coverage.
Outcome: In addition to identifying and resolving the general contractors coverage exclusion, our team helped strengthen the contractual risk transfer within the agreement – reducing balance sheet risk in the event of a claim.
