Deeds of guarantee and indemnity
It is important to put legal infrastructure in place to protect yourself from client non-payment. Engaging with a signatory that isn’t a natural person – e.g. a company, partner or trust – can raise questions about the contract. In these instances, we recommend engaging with a guarantor who is a natural person.
In this expert-led article we answer our members’ frequently asked questions about using a guarantee and all the critical things you need to be aware of. Please note: many HIA contracts include a form of deed of guarantee and indemnity.
