Knock-for-Knock Indemnities and the Law: Contractual Limitation and Delictual Liability (Contemporary Commercial Law)
by Kristoffer Svendsen Endre Stavang Greg GordonThis book examines contractual limitation, principles and practice through the use of knock-for-knock indemnity clauses. In using such clauses, the parties agree that for certain forms of potential liability – typically property damage, personal injury to employees, and sometimes other heads of claim such as consequential loss – any loss arising will be absorbed by the party who suffers it: "you look after your losses, I’ll look after mine." It is an apparently simple, pragmatic and neat solution to the question of who bears liability: a risk allocation model so straightforward that it was described by one experienced English judge, Honorable Mr. Justice Morison, as "crude". A specialist contributor team of international experts, examine the origin, application and effect of these clauses in important jurisdictions, their impact in different industries such as oil & gas, shipping, construction and insurance, through the lenses of both economic and legal analyses. The book is of use for lawyers, economists and businesspeople who draft, negotiates or manage contracts in all industries where liability is dealt with in this way. It is also of interest to students, academics, and policy makers.

Know and Grow the Value of Your Business: An Owner's Guide to Retiring Rich
by Tim McdanielA woman looking to retire said to author and valuation expert Tim McDaniel, "I need to sell my business for $2.5 million to support my country club lifestyle." The reality was that her business was worth $750,000. How could she have been so wrong? As McDaniel-a veteran of over 2,000 valuation engagements and dozens of M&A deals-knows all too well, most owners work in their businesses and not on their businesses. He has seen the look of surprise on client faces far too often: "It's only worth that much?!" In the rush of day-to-day work and decisions, business owners sometimes forget that their business is an investment-and something they need to watch, nurture, and care for just as they would a valuable antique vase or painting. Know and Grow the Value of Your Business: An Owner's Guide to Retiring Rich shows readers how to develop the "investment mindset," value the business, bolster that value and maximize the return on their investment, and, finally, exit the business either through a sale to outside parties or by passing it on to family or other business insiders. This information couldn't be more important: Typically, 60-80% of a business owner's wealth is tied up in the value of the business. This is their most important asset, but they usually guess at its value and have no concrete plan to increase it. That's why this book shows: The importance of treating your ownership interest in a business as something deserving near-daily attention. How a company is valued, and how others outside the business view that value. Steps you can take immediately to increase the value of your business. The different kinds of potential buyers and what attracts them. How to remove yourself from the day-to-day work of the business to plan for a brighter future. How to exit the business on your terms. In short, this book helps business owners get the most for their business when they decide it's time to move on.
