Taft partner Peter S. Nealis is one of four presenters at the National Business Institute seminar “Negotiating Indemnification, Reps, Warranties and More in Business Contracts.” The program will dive into strategies to negotiate critical contract provisions to help avoid risk, liability and potential errors that indemnification and other clauses can bring.

Designed for attorneys and paralegals, the seminar will be conducted Friday, August 17 from 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Place Tampa Airport/Westshore in Tampa, Fla.
